I looked for that line in the article HOTPE linked in his post but couldn't find it, so am assuming it is HOTPE's bias shining through, rather than what the article actually reports.
The title of the article in question is... "Bizarre interstellar object spotted by Hawaii telescope (probably) isn’t a spaceship." And, although that "probably" is prominently placed in the title of the article, as well as repeated throughout, HOTPE omitted it.
Curious how often a simple thing like paraphrasing reports ends up reflecting our own beliefs rather than the truth of the information being passed on. I suspect it happens all the time, and that most folks don't even know they do it.
