So once we put aside system artefacts (UK spelling) or artifacts (U.S. spelling), is there a residual of good cases left? And I just don’t know.. . . I personally think there's more going on than just artefact from faulty equipment. Some UAPs have been observed with the naked eye, as well. I'm open to the idea that these are extraterrestrial in nature, and they'll probably come around more during world conflict, like what's going on between Russia and Ukraine. . .
I do think the Oumuamua object which went through the solar system in the Fall of 2017, and which was either cigar-shaped or pancake-shape (not known) and whose reflectivity changed as presumably it tumbled through space, and which was observed accelerating as it left the solar system although not outgassing like a comet — well, it’s a real question mark!
We only first saw it when it was already moving away from us and had a total of 11 days to observe it.
It could be a break-off from an icy planet or comet.
But Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb said the mostly likely explanation on its face was an abandoned light sail.
