Contrary to the narratives you’ll find elsewhere, including in Loeb’s new book, Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Life Beyond Earth, this is not a possibility worth taking seriously as a scientist. A straightforward look at the evidence shows us why." -> "Loeb offers only loud, immodest speculation about aliens and diatribes about community groupthink. Coupled with inadequate data, which is the only data we have, he’s impossible to prove wrong."

If something is impossible to prove wrong because of inadequate data isn't that a strong suggestion that further research would be a good idea??

Gathering more data on this object is essentially impossible right now. There's a telescope coming online soon (LSST) that should detect many more objects like this, though.
