> Out of my network of ~200 astronomers/physicists, I haven't heard one person support the idea that this is an alien probe.
I've heard little to nothing in any media articles of anyone supporting alternatives.
Is it once a year these are thought to come through, or 100 times a year? Do we get things that are 100 times smaller at 100 times the rate?
If people won't make a public call, then lets run with aliens.
I was a fan of it's not interstellar, just more fake 'life on Venus' science, but reading some journal articles[1], it seems like it is expected. But it's been hard to work that out.
