It is interesting Professor Loeb believes it is under the influence of the sun's light. One of the reasons expectations to live outside of Earth's protective atmosphere is thought by some to be too dangerous to engage; is due to the Solar Wind from the sun.
Scientists from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies will tell anyone who asks, the solar wind has high amounts of radiation that people simply can't be exposed to without severe consequences. The idea that radiation, called the solar wind, could be harnessed as an energy source for space flight is not that strange. The radiation has mass and velocity. If this object has exhibited such capacity, it is possible by the laws of physics. Just because Earth's scientists haven't perfected the possibility simply means the technology is in it's infant stages.
If there is alien life, the hull of such a vessel could be thick while resilient to the wind produced by suns. Also, realize the possibility of a moving object in interstellar space would meet with collisions of other objects, especially if it relies on solar elements for propulsion, the appearance of such a hull could appear to be battered.

There’s a new theory (click here) that a mysterious object that passed by earth last year may have been an alien probe intentionally sent here from some other civilization outside our solar system.
The object was first discovered a little over a year ago. And it has a name: Oumuamua. That’s Hawaiian.
“And it means a visitor from far away, coming for the first time,” said Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard University's Astronomy Department, who published a paper on the object in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
“This is the very first object that we found in the solar system that originated from outside the solar system,” Loeb said. “It's a visitor from outer space. Sort of like a guest that comes for dinner and you can learn about the country where the guest came from without buying an airline ticket to visit that country.”
And this one doesn’t look like the guests we usually get.
“It turned out to be very weird,” Loeb said. “It's nothing like we have seen before in the solar system.”
That novelty — this thing’s unusual shape and the way it moves — led Loeb to some hypotheses that sound more like science fiction than science. This thing has a long, narrow shape and rotates. It doesn’t have a tail like a comet. And it accelerated in a way they didn’t expect, given the sun’s gravitational force....
I am glad Stonehenge is still intact. It is arrogant to think Earth is unique. The fact the pilot stated the objects didn't appear to be on a collision course could indicate intelligence. If there is intelligence in these flying objects, their steps in meeting with human beings would be measured considering they are a minority and we live within a scope of violence including nuclear explosion. It is possible another civilization would find the use of nuclear weapons an abhorrence against nature since the solar energy (solar wind) they might rely on as an energy source is produced by far more violent explosions inside any sun.
Look at what Trump wants, a space force with the idea of war. That is insane. There is no oxygen in space to make a bomb blow up. That was a sharp reality when the "Challenger" exploded. If an explosion happened minutes later it would not have killed the astronauts or destroyed the spacecraft as they entered the outer limits of Earth's atmosphere. The other real example is Apollo 13. So, if I were an intersellar visitor why would I want contact? Witnessing people killing each other has to leave an incredibly stupid impression on alien intelligence.

The Irish Aviation Authority (click here) is investigating reports of bright lights and UFOs off the south-west coast of Ireland.
It began at 06:47 local time on Friday 9 November when a British Airways pilot contacted Shannon air traffic control.
She wanted to know if there were military exercises in the area because there was something "moving so fast".
The air traffic controller said there were no such exercises.
The pilot, flying from the Canadian city of Montreal to Heathrow, said there was a "very bright light" and the object had come up along the left side of the aircraft before it "rapidly veered to the north".
She was wondering what it could be but said it did not seem to be heading for a collision.
Another pilot from a Virgin plane joined in and suggested it might be a meteor or another object re-entering the earth's atmosphere.
He said there were "multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory" and that they were very bright.
The pilot said he saw "two bright lights" over to the right which climbed away at speed....
