The guy doesn't even say it's a probe. He thinks it's likely space junk, but not from us. If you lived on some remote island not near shipping or flight lanes

The guy doesn't even say it's a probe. He thinks it's likely space junk, but not from us. If you lived on some remote island not near shipping or flight lanes, you'd know people were out there because of all the plastic bottles and crap that would show up on the shore. Same thing basically. The beings who made it could have been extinct for millions of years.
