Maybe... the aliens like to disguise themselves, their buildings and space ships as rocks. According to some Mars is full of them. Maybe they re already amongst us? The rock right beside you, beneath your feet.. of alien origin and you dont even know... until it is to late...

Depends, is God considered an Alien?

Why would it look like a rock? And if it was sent, why wasn't it closer? Might as well claim that God put it there. If it actually was aliens it's quite likely that it wasn't sent specifically for us.

Here is a lot more information. It accelerated when it got close to the sun and then decelerated. Seems like a natural phenomenon of being pushed by strong radiation from the sun.

It entered the solar system at a speed of around 23km/s. That's painfully slow to actually travel through space and bridge any kind of distance in a reasonable amount of time. You need hundreds of years to get through the solar system at that speed let alone get to it from somewhere else.

Errr..  If it really was an spaceship, what makes you think this would be its top speed? I mean, I'm not saying that it was indeed an spaceship. But if it was, then I think it is safe to assume that it would be able to accelerate and decelerate at will.

If it was able to change its speed at will why would it be so slow in the first place? Sightseeing in a random solar system for a few hundred years?

From what i read at the start of the week the issue they had was that it decelerated when it should have continued to accelerate if it was an actual object like an asteroid.

Also one conclusion was that it wasn't an active alien sail but rather one that was discarded and it just kept on floating through space as the object did not appear to have any active frequencies (well ones we know about) to scan our planet.

In any case whatever it was by the time any information has been relayed back to alien base we be long gone lol.

Well, if it was the Alpha Centauri solar system we might hear back from them in just a few decades.
