Could 'Oumuamua be an icy fractal aggregate ejected from a protoplanetary disk?

So, an interstellar dust bunny.

I wonder if it will find a resting place in some dark corner of the universe, maybe behind a black hole somewhere just out of our sight clinging tenuously to the outstretched arm of some far-off spiral galaxy and resisting every effort to slurp it back into the vacuum.

"Interstellar dust bunny" is a fantastic phrase.

Thanks. It doesn't add much to the discussion but I thought at the time that it might be a reasonable analogy based on the author's speculations. Of course we may also have just missed the opportunity to save the Who's. Sadly though, they couldn't all yell loudly enough for us to hear them over here on our rocky speck.

Can we please name the space probe we'll launch to explore it "Dyson"? After Freeman Dyson, of course.
