Avi Loeb, Harvard's top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eExtraterrestrial, \u003c\/em\u003e Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system.
