alligator in the cargo bay

'Oumuamua

An interstellar object detected entering the solar system. No one knows for sure what it is - asteroid? comet? derelict alien spaceship? The name is Hawaiian for "scout", since it's the first interstellar object ever detected
I wonder if 'Oumuamua is an alien spaceship? Or is it just a comet?
