What If a Dark Hydrogen Iceberg Fell to Earth?

In 2017, scientists discovered the first known interstellar object in our Solar System. Meet Oumuamua, which means "scout" in Hawaiian. What could this new astrophysical object be? Where did it come from? The verdict is still out on what Oumuamua is. It could be a comet, asteroid or maybe something else. One leading theory is that it’s a hydrogen iceberg.
