UFO sightings on the rise

[TomK]

glinda,

HOTPE's statement that

"Astronomers have concluded recent interstellar visitor Oumuamau was not an alien spacecraft, but of natural origin."

is about as accurate as it could possibly be because that's exactly what has happened. It wasn't a quote, so have no idea why you searched for it in the HNN article; HNN decided to add their own words as is standard media practice when reporting science. Your criticism seems to be the height of pedantry.
