[00:00:00]In October 2017, astronomers [music] detected the first known interstellar object passing through our solar system.

[00:00:06]They named it Oumuamua, meaning [music] scout in Hawaiian.

[00:00:10]It was shaped like nothing ever seen before.

[00:00:13]It was 10 times longer than it was wide, like a 400-m cigar tumbling [music] through space.

[00:00:18]Oumuamua accelerated as it left our solar system, which cannot be [music] explained by gravity alone.

[00:00:24]Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb proposed it could be an alien solar sail or [music] probe.

[00:00:29]The object didn't produce a visible comet tail, ruling out standard outgassing explanations.

[00:00:35]It entered [music] our solar system from the direction of the star Vega, traveling at 196,000 mph.

[00:00:41]By the time we detected it, Oumuamua was already heading away.

[00:00:46]We had weeks [music] to study it.

[00:00:48]No telescope on Earth or in space has been able to determine [music] what it was made of.

[00:00:52]Oumuamua is now beyond our reach, speeding into interstellar space.

[00:00:57]We may never know what it truly was.
