Synopsis

In 2017, Robert Weryk observed, through his telescope, a luminous object that would raise a staggering number of questions. This 'anomaly' likely came from 'interstellar space.' This object, named Oumuamua (meaning 'messenger' in Hawaiian), then became a real puzzle for the scientific community, which, even today, is still questioning its nature and origin. Avi Loeb (director of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University) puts forward an exotic hypothesis: it is an artificial object produced by an extraterrestrial intelligence.
