[00:00:00]On October 19th, 2017, the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii spotted an object 400 m long and only 40 m wide, shaped like nothing in our solar system.

[00:00:11]It was already leaving, moving at 87 km per second, far too fast to be bound by the sun.

[00:00:18]Then 'Oumuamua did something [music] impossible.

[00:00:21]It accelerated away from the sun without a visible tail, without outgassing, without the cometary signature every natural body shows.

[00:00:29]Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb calculated the non-gravitational push and concluded our physics cannot account for it.

[00:00:36]New one drops every day. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

[00:00:40]It is still tumbling end over end every 7.3 hours, somewhere past Neptune's orbit by now.

[00:00:47]We will never catch it, never photograph it, never know what it actually was.

[00:00:52]Comment below. Was it a shard of a ship?
