        Probably a space ship that looked at earth and decided to get away while it could.

        If an alien entity wanted to send a probe through our solar system, it could possibly look like that. "Prelude to Invasion"

        To what end? If they've gotten this far, they don't need anything we have left.

        It's a nice thought experiment. If it's a probe, then they are looking to find out what we have that can be used or mined.

        Good point! There are a lot of things that we can't assume about other life forms. And our defaults may misinterpret good intentions.
