Very interesting, and it gives a really good highlight of the whole Oumuamua event, which got a bit distorted in the media.
The things that stood out were:
- Our range of vision to spot such objects is narrow;
- We don't have much "resolution" of the object, and we have to work with limited data;
- that fact that we managed to get that data was already really good and it's enough to theorize about a lot of stuff, but not enough to tell precisely what it was.
- the object behavior as it approached the sun doesn't match the type of object that we perceived at the beginning;
- the object could have been stationary;
