In the New York Times bestseller Extraterrestrial, Avi Loeb, the longest serving Chair of Harvard’s Astronomy Department, presented a theory that shook the scientific community: our solar system, Loeb claimed, had likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien technology from a distant star. This provocative and persuasive argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast possibilities of our universe and the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth.

In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.

In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.

En octubre de 2017, científicos del observatorio Haleakala, en Hawái, detectaron un objeto interestelar en movimiento próximo a la Tierra. Primero fue catalogado de cometa, pero esta hipótesis fue descartada. Llamado "Oumuamua", "mensajero" o "explorador" en hawaiano, finalmente fue catalogado como asteroide, si bien su forma y su comportamiento diferían del resto de los asteroides y cometas de nuestro sistema solar. Cuanto más lo observaban los científicos, más extraño les parecía.

Avi Loeb ist einer der renommiertesten Astronomen unserer Zeit. Und er ist sich sicher: Wir sind nicht allein im All. Denn Form und Eigenschaften des unbekannten Flugobjekts, das im Oktober 2017 durch unser inneres Sonnensystem schoss, ließen nur eine Erklärung zu: Oumuamua, wie man es nannte, war Alien-Technologie, von einer außerirdischen Zivilisation entwickelt und auf Erkundungsflug.

Avi Loeb, ledende astrofysiker ved Harvard University, fremlægger sin kontroversielle teori om, at vores solsystem for nylig blev besøgt af avanceret og fremmed teknologi fra en fjern stjerne. I slutningen af 2017 fik nogle forskere på et observatorium i Hawaii øje på et objekt, der kom flyvende gennem vores indre solsystem og bevægede sig så hurtigt, at det nødvendigvis måtte stamme fra en anden stjerne. Avi Loeb påviste, at det ikke kunne være en asteroide. Objektet bevægede sig ganske enkelt for hurtigt og langs en underlig bane – og det forsvandt sporløst.

Em outubro de 2017, cientistas de um dos maiores observatórios espaciais do mundo — localizado no topo de um vulcão dormente no Havaí — detectaram um objeto transitando por nosso sistema solar. A primeira hipótese foi a de que se tratava de um mero asteroide, como tantos outros que cruzaram e seguem cruzando nossa galáxia. Mas os dados coletados pelo telescópio Pan-STARRS1 revelaram detalhes curiosos, e bem anômalos, no comportamento desse visitante.
