As if things weren't weird enough already, now there's some supposedly cylindrical object passing through the solar system out by Mars, and the usual suspects are claiming that it's alien technology.
It's almost certainly not, but that doesn't stop anyone from claiming it might be.
New extraordinary images of the interstellar object flying through our solar system have been released, sparking fresh theories about its origins.
Although most scientists have concluded that the mysterious object is a comet, NASA's Perseverance rover on the Martian surface sent back photos showing what appears to be a massive cylindrical shape.
Stargazers on social media shared color-enhanced images of the object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, which showed the interstellar visitor having a green glow as it passed Mars and heads closer to the sun.
Enter one of those usual suspects, Harvard's Avi Loeb, and even he's sounding a skeptical tone this time.
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who has been convinced that the object could be an alien craft or probe, analyzed the Perseverance rover's photos by calculating its distance, speed, and camera settings.
According to his initial study, Loeb was not convinced 3I/ATLAS is actually a massive cylindrical object, noting that the strange shape might have been a trick of the rover's camera stretching out its shape.
He explained that the apparent cylinder from the rover's 'Navcam' was likely caused by the camera stacking hundreds of images of 3I/ATLAS over a period of about 10 minutes, making it look more like a log than a ball.
The one thing this object isn't doing is anything that might actually be evidence that it is some kind of alien technology. It shows no sign of direction; it's just following a ballistic arc. It's showing no change in relative velocity, what aviators might call delta-V. It's not showing any changes in direction. It's just... passing by, and it's almost certainly just a rock.
Of course, there's this:
Daily Mail reached out to NASA for comment and received a message noting that the space agency 'is currently closed due to a lapse in government funding.'
So, perhaps the alien civilization, billions of miles away, timed the transit of their probe to match the timing of the United States government shutdown? Well, that's a remarkable feat, when you consider that the probe would have had to have been launched hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago.
Of course, I could be wrong. This thing could send out scout ships tomorrow, and if one lands on my lawn, and a little green man pops out and says "Take me to your leader," I have a plan - I'm taking them to see Gary Busey.
That ought to fix them.Read More: Could This Odd Manhattan-Sized Comet Be Alien Tech?

Here's the thing: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If alien spacecraft are buzzing through our solar system, they would have come from a civilization that is thousands, maybe millions of years more advanced than us. There would be no reason for them to be stealthy. They wouldn’t bother to hide from us. Their presence would almost certainly be obvious and probably wouldn’t end too well for us.
Alien flybys are as one with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster: They just plain don’t exist.
