My Son The Astronomer explained to me when it was first within our solar system that it was simply an anomalous out of the solar system object, and NOT something manufactured by some aliens out there.

It's astonishing how fast people are to go, OMG! I don't know what that is so it MUST be aliens!

Show me genuine proof of aliens. Not speculation.

Real scientists understand that we don't know everything, that we learn new stuff all the time. Oumuamua was something new, and we learned from it.
