Oumuamua, Solar Sail?

Well this object isn't a dust particle......but dust particles could affect its speed and direction.

I have my doubts about that, if dust does affect course and speed it would be minimal considering the size of the probe/object...

When Asteroids Become Comets Asteroids can become comets. they can develop coma and a tail. what would cause a course correction is a simple jettison from its tail
Imagine an Alka-Seltzer in water. When it's fizzing it will propel around in the glass. Radiation pressure and solar wind cause a comet to have a tail. Now let us assume for a moment that the entire orbit of the object has varying degrees of solar wind and radioactive pressure, You have to think of space in incredible detail, it's not just this big emptiness, My assumption is Oumuamua hits these high solar pressure areas and it fizzes, The jettisoned force from the tail will change its course without doubt. now, what happens when it's no longer in these high areas of solar radiation?

It's a comet or an asteroid. it's simply getting closer to stars and this causes it to form a tail in the high-pressure solar winds. as it exits these areas it loses its tail. It's a simple "space weather phenomenon".

Fizzics?

No it is an artists impression, we do not have a image of it that close or that zoomed in...

What is the rendition based on?

What they 'think' it may look like, since the real image is only a speck they used their imaginations I suppose...

This image thing was all discussed in the other original thread on this object.

Thanks.....I'll look into it.

I wasn't very active in it......and its been a while since I saw the thread. I'll stay out of this one now.

there is a surprisingly high probability that oumuamua was a unmanned ET probe, it matches all the signatures of one
and it makes me think: how many more are out there?
