'Asteroid' coming in system

Apparently there is a 'cigar' shaped asteroid on its way in system. Makes me think of the Star Trek Doomsday Machine, or the probe ship from Voyage Home. Or, it could be SDF1 Macross.
It'll, naturally, turn out to be a chunk of rock, but it's good to dream.
(Could be a hollowed out chunk of rock)👽👽👽

Are you thinking on the Rendevouz With Rama ship and how they all do everything in threes?

Yep, cigar shaped is close enough to cylindrical.

Radar error.

Of couse, it could also be Battlestar Gallactica making its way to Earth.

"Endeavor has landed."

Yes, Rama was the first thing that came into my mind to. I have an old Walden Books abreviated audiobook I listen to frequently as it's a favorie, but am going to pull out the hardcover and re-read the whole story.

Nice to dream and speculate...
