NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a strange, spaceship-like object traveling at 11,000mph. Unlike comets, this object has an "X-shaped debris pattern [and] its 460-foot-wide nucleus is outside the dust halo and separated from the trail." Continue reading for a close-up.

This behavior is something which has never been seen before in a comet or any other solar-system-swooshing object.

Its the remnants of two comets that had collided.

Maybe, but I think it´s too geometrical. I would believe that a collision of to comets would make a more random shape than a X. And why is this X flying a just one direction. I to comets would collide, the fragments would fly around at random, they wouldn´t fly a direct way.
