It\u2019s about the size of The Gherkin in London, which stands 180 metres tall.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists from Breakthrough Listen, an alien-hunting organisation led by Professor Stephen Hawking, are planning to use the world\u2019s largest directable radio telescope, at Green Bank in West Virginia, to <a href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2017\/12\/11\/alien-probe-enter-solar-system-asteroid-oumuamua-artificial-extraterrestrial-investigators-suggest-7150610\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">see if the asteroid is emitting radio waves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But Jason Wright, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State, said the motion of the strange object could be key to discovering whether it is a piece of alien technology or just a weirdly-shaped asteroid.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metrouk2.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/pri_62852315.jpg?w=620&amp;h=442&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"The five telltale signs which mean asteroid might actually be an alien space probe\"\/><figcaption>The Green Bank radio telescope in West Virginia, US, which is going to track the unexplained flying object (Picture: PA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Astronomers believe it could be \u2018tumbling\u2019 through space, rather than speeding through space like a rocket or aeroplane.<\/p>\n<p>This claim is remarkable in itself because Oumuamua would have to be far more rigid than most asteroids to survive this kind of motion for a long time without breaking apart.<\/p>\n<p>Now Wright has made the astonishing suggestion that a spacecraft whose engines have failed would tumble in exactly the way as the interstellar asteroid.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the astronomer doesn\u2019t actually believe Oumuamua is alien in origin, but he <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.psu.edu\/astrowright\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">set out the following thought experiment on his blog<\/a>:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Such derelict craft would, if they are not travelling so fast that they escape the Galaxy, eventually \u2018thermalize\u2019 with the stars and end up drifting around like any other interstellar comet or asteroid,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In fact, since they (presumably) no longer have attitude control, one would expect that they would eventually begin to tumble, and if they are very rigid that tumbling might distinguish them from ordinary interstellar asteroids\u2026 and in fact, just because their propulsion is broken doesn\u2019t mean that their radio transmitters would be broken.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metrouk2.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/11\/eso1737c.jpg?w=620&amp;h=626&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Is the asteroid Oumuamua an alien probe?
