This was mentioned in a draught document from the Pentagon. \ A draught study paper by Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and Abraham Loeb, chairman of the astronomy department at Harvard University, on the physical [constraints](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34816/what-is-mapping-constraints-in-database-management-system) of anomalous aerial occurrences was released on March 7. \ ![Apple supplier Foxconn wins AirPod deal and launches $200 million factory in India](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/9lBKjXxtpjWrpBd597Vtdb2_qA2cNXoPRG-h_rYCJgLhaMendm81sObUrUJBU99g1Oz9Hp9cVQEFKNK-eKiDb4UTZchWAUkjPk0uCkvS-uh6vwR7jZjiPvYWWuO-YeXFnb_Csnh_N3Ar0UL0VLVkTA8) \ "An artificial interstellar object may hypothetically be a parent vehicle that deploys several small probes throughout its close approach to Earth, an [operational](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94144/how-many-days-was-chandrayaan-1-operational) structure not too unlike from NASA missions," the [researchers](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1544/mars-looks-more-seismically-active-than-before-thought-said-researchers) noted. \ These "dandelion seeds" may become detached from the parent ship due to the Sun's gravitational attraction or a moving object. \ [**ALSO READ: Pentagon selects Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle for $9 billion cloud project.**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2530/pentagon-selects-amazon-microsoft-google-and-oracle-for-9-billion-cloud-project) \ The AARO was established in July 2022 and is in charge of monitoring objects that can move across domains, including those that are in the air, sea, and space. \ The paper claims that Congress ordered NASA to detect 90% of all nearby objects greater than 140 metres by 2005, which prompted the creation of Pan-STARRS telescopes. \ On October 19, 2017, Pan-STARRS spotted a peculiar interstellar object that was eventually given the Hawaiian name 'Oumuamua, which means scout. \ The object's flat appearance, the fact that it was propelled away from the sun without releasing a cometary tail, and its cigar-shaped structure led scientists to conclude that it was artificial. \ [**Also read: Reports - Pentagon Offer a Small Company Power Over IP Addresses to Identify Security Flaws.**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/485/reports-pentagon-offer-a-small-company-power-over-ip-addresses-to-identify-security-flaws) \ Another object, NASA's [rocket booster](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/83046/spacex-rocket-booster-collision-with-the-moon) 2020 SO, which had no cometary traces, was discovered three years later, [according to the report](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/38115/according-to-the-report-released-by-the-ministry-of-environment-forests-and-climate-change-on-august-12-what-is-the-total-estimated-number-of-elephants-in-india). \ The research states that [six months](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11970/how-to-become-a-successful-blockchain-developer-in-just-six-months) before 'Oumuamua made its closest approach to the earth, IM2, a meter-sized interstellar meteor, had the same shape and velocity as 'Oumuamua at a considerable distance. \ As the parent spacecraft passes by within a fraction of the Earth-Sun distance, these small probes "with an ideal design, would reach the Earth or other solar system planets for [investigation](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2149/twitter-claims-in-court-that-elon-musk-is-the-subject-of-government-investigations)," the scientists write (exactly like "Oumuamua" did). \ Astronomers would not be able to notice the rain of tiny probes because they do not reflect enough light for current survey telescopes to find them. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2885/apple-supplier-foxconn-wins-airpod-deal-and-launches-200-million-factory-in-india Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
