It's still there. By my calculations, it should have shifter by 2cm from the last observation. Although it looks like 2 cm to me, it should be several light-years of distance. This is what fascinates me about space and the universe. There is so much out there that we don't know about. We don't know what we all don't know about. While we describe its universe, we aren't sure what is it. We tell it has a size of some humongous light-years radius, but that just all we can observe. There may be all the bigger and new things that we haven't only observed yet.

Indeed, a place full of mysteries. And by chance, I stumbled upon this, strange thing. I first saw it while looking out for some planets at the edge of our galaxy. You know, just to kill some time. But, what I saw was something genuinely fascinating. A small, pin size light source. At first, all it looked like a star in some distant galaxy. But what shocked me, that it was emitting a constant single wavelength source of light. The deviation in its emission was just over 1.5nm. That fascinated me, so k started observing it to see what it was. I haven't heard and read anything like this before. This could be a breakthrough moment in human space exploration history. But, somehow I wanted to learn about it more.

And then it's been already months since I have observing it. And one thing I have seen, that thing is travelling at a much faster speed than the speed of light. So fast that what we are looking at is just an after image, even in the comparison of other objects that are millions of light-years away. This thing defies all laws of physics.
I have observed other things as well, sometimes the thing stops at one point, and it's emitting wavelength changes. After that it's light gets brighter, albeit very little. Yes. Whenever it stops, it moves towards us in a straight line. I don't know how, but it almost feels like a search for something.

I am sure, whatever it is, it's either has its brain, or something is controlling it. This might just be the proof; we are not alone.
