Thanks for this posting. Nothing heard from the Main Stream Media or other news sources that I frequent.

I remember a tiny blurb on the news regarding this unusual shaped "rock". It was about a week to ten days ago. It certainly has an unusual trajectory.

That's about the time i read something in BBC about it. Pretty cool.

I read about this as a story on Fox News (online) about a week back. I doubt this is the "first" interstellar object passing through the Solar System...just the first we have noticed or discovered.

For you science fiction fans, read "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke...it'll get you in the mood for a larger interstellar object entering the solar system.
