In 2017, astronomers detected Oumuamua, the first confirmed interstellar object passing through our solar system, which moved on a hyperbolic trajectory too fast to be captured by the Sun, showed no clear comet tail but changed speed slightly as it left, and vanished back into deep space after a brief visit, marking humanity's first observation of a visitor from another star system.

Oumuamua First Visitor From Another Star SystemAdded:
In 2017, something entered our solar system from deep space, moved around the Sun, and escaped before we could ever catch it. Astronomers named it Oumuamua.
It was the first confirmed interstellar object ever detected passing through our solar system. It was not orbiting the Sun like normal asteroids or comets.
It was moving too fast on an open path that showed it came [music] from somewhere beyond our star. It showed no clear comet tail, but it still changed speed slightly as it left. Then it vanished into deep space. For a few weeks, humanity saw a visitor from another star [music] system.
