I heard him talk to, I think Joe Rogan, about Oumuamua, and he presented the case that the unexplained acceleration could not be outgassing because no tail was observed. He also said it was weird that the velocity of the object was effectively stationary compared to the average velocity of this area of the galaxy, as if it was a kind of lighthouse/beacon. This seemed pretty compelling to me.
Eventually after digging deeper on both these topics I learned that it is absolutely possible to have outgassing that doesn't leave a tail, that could cause the observed acceleration. And that something being stationary relative to the other objects in this area of the galaxy is not at all unusual.
This kind of made me feel he was either being disingenuous or was just too emotionally invested in it being aliens to think clearly.
Sure, it could still be aliens, nonetheless, so could every rock and spot we see in the sky, though.
