  • The article puts forward a specific hypothesis, though: a magnetar and a hydrogen cloud. My understanding of those objects is they don’t move very fast. And the article acts as if this is a solved problem but the solution seems to be “Iunno, could be anything” which makes me wonder how they can be so sure.

    I’m no astonomist, but didn’t they keep the thing pointed in that direction for a long ass time trying to pick it back up? If it was a natural phenomenon it seems like they should have seen it again.

    I’m definitely not saying it was aliens, but this doesn’t feel like it explains the whole thing.
