If no one else will say it, I guess I will.
Take a good look* at the recently discovered interstellar asteroid/comet. It has a highly unusual (for a space object) elongated shape, not formed into the more common round, oblong, or clumpy contours of a moon or solar system asteroid, it's more like an extruded piece of debris, frozen solid in the vast empty waste of space.
Is it possible, as some would ask, that a passing spacecraft of giant aliens spotted our earth from a distance? That they watched us for a while, and noted the way we treat each other, the way we use our home as a planetary dumping ground, garbage piled atop more garbage, atmospheric temperature rising every year, massive storms closing in around our population centers. Then the inhabitants of the mega-alien Winnebago RV reach a logical conclusion, and since they'd already been looking for a designated dumping station where they could empty their holding tanks shouted, "there! Three planets from that small sun, a real toilet bowl. See if you can hit a three pointer into that swirling hurricane. On my mark, 3,2,1... flush it!
