Masibe yinyani, inkcubeko ye-UFO inokuziva i-hokey encinci. Abo bakholelwa ukuba kukho abaphambukeli abahlala phakathi kwethu bahlala becingelwa njengabancinci, siza kuthi, kweli hlabathi . Kodwa ngoku, abo bakholelwa kubaphambukeli banokuba nesipele ngakumbi: isibini sabaphandi eHarvard bathi into eyimfihlakalo esandula ukudlula emhlabeni inokuba sisiphekepheke esingaziwayo.

Kwi-2017, 'u-Oumuamua-okuthetha ukuba' umthunywa ofikelela kwakudala 'eHawaii - wabhabha kwinkqubo yethu yelanga. Ngokwe-Space.com, yiyo kanye umzimba wokuqala owaziwayo we-interstellar kuqatshelwe kwinkqubo yethu yelanga. Kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga nento leyo, nangona uMatthew Holman, umlawuli weZiko eliNcinci lePlanethi eCambridge, eMassachusetts uxelele Isithuba Space.com into leyo inokuba yenziwe ngumkhenkce ongaphezulu kwelitye. Ucacisile, kungenxa yokuba imizimba eyakha imiphetho engaphandle yesixokelelwano selanga ithande ukuba ngumkhenkce.

Okanye, ngokuka-Abraham Loeb, unjingalwazi kunye nosihlalo we-astronomy, kunye no-Shmuel Bialy, isifundiswa sasemva kogqirha, e-Harvard Smithsonian Centre ye-Astrophysics, sisiphekepheke.

'& apos; U-Oumuamua unokuba lisebe elipheleleyo elithunyelwe ngabom kulomhlaba yimpucuko yelinye ilizwe,' isibini ubhale kwiphepha elisandula kupapashwa lingeniswe kwi Iileta zeJenali yeAstrophysical. Abaphandi bongeze ukuba into, eyayihamba ngesantya se-196,000 mph, inokuba nayo 'imvelaphi yokufakelwa kwaye inokuba sisiqwenga sendawo yenkunkuma.

Ukujonga imvelaphi engeyiyo eyokwenyani, inokwenzeka into yokuba u-Oumuamua yiseyile elula, ejikelezayo kwindawo ye-interstellar njengemfucuza evela kwizixhobo zeteknoloji ezihambele phambili, 'ababhali bongeze, beqhubeka besithi' u-Oumuamua wayeqhutywa yimitha yelanga.

Kwaye ngenene, ayisiyiyo kwaphela eyoluliweyo xa ucinga ukuba abantu basemhlabeni benze ukukhanya okufana neeseyile.

'Iiseyile ezikhanyayo ezinobungakanani obufanayo ziyilelwe kwaye zakhiwa yimpucuko yethu, kubandakanya neprojekthi ye-IKAROS kunye ne-Starshot Initiative, latsho iphepha. Itekhnoloji yokukhanya kweseyile inokusetyenziselwa kakhulu ukuhambisa iimoto phakathi kweeplanethi okanye phakathi kweenkwenkwezi. '

Kodwa, awunakhathazeka nge-ET. ukuza kukufumana okwangoku. Ababhali baphinde baqaphela ukuba into engaqhelekanga yendlela enokuthi ichaze ukuba ayisasebenzi, kwaye, inene, isenokungabi sisiphekepheke kwaphela. Sekunjalo, kumnandi ukuphupha.

'Kuyonwabisa ukuhlala ngexesha esinobuchwephesha benzululwazi ukukhangela ubungqina benkcubeko yabaphambukeli,' uLoeb ubhalele nge-imeyile. CNN . Ubungqina malunga 'no-Oumuamua abugqibeki kodwa bunomdla. Ndiza konwaba ngokwenene xa sinobungqina obuqinisekileyo. '
