I'm just going to believe, for no good reason in particular, that it's actually an alien probe sent to watch our planet after the detection of particles from the nuclear detonations that started in the 1940s. And yes, this is very much influenced by Star Trek and the detection of our first warp drive by the Vulcan's flying by our solar system.


Don't go giving Avi Loeb any ideas now...


Sure, it's the home base for the alien saucers (drones)


Bit small at 19m, unless it's managing to hide most of the bulk and only presenting a smaller cross section.

If it's an asteroid it could be a good opportunity pick up some samples, given its proximity.

You would wonder if it could even be coaxed into a Lagrange point for longer term study.
