According to one version, it is an "alien probe".
This mysterious object is known as 1991 VG and was first discovered in November 1991 by astronomer James Scotty of Arizona State University. Today, many conspiracy theorists think that this is a real "alien probe" that will fly directionally near the Earth in 2017, according to the author of the video.
The object has confused astronomers since it was first noticed, mainly due to its strange rotation and lifespan in space. Some people think it is part of the Apollo 12 rocket, but according to Scotty, it is probably something else:
“We considered all the possibilities in terms of human creation. As assumptions 1991 VG was proposed to be considered part of spacecraft and rocket bodies. But when we examined each probability, then we excluded each of the options.
According to other people, the strange object could also be a secret Soviet rocket during the space race. It is a fact that the Soviets possessed missiles as powerful as the Americans, and it is entirely possible that they commissioned this facility to get to the Moon and covered up this fact as things went badly.
VG 1991 has its own orbit. Scotty realized that this object passed around the Earth once, back in March 1975.
When 1991 VG was first sighted, it was about 10 meters in diameter, passing 280,000 miles from Earth, about 50,000 miles farther than the distance from Earth to the Moon. The object showed a high rotational speed and its brightness fluctuated. At the time, this kind of behavior was not observed in any of the asteroids of the same size. The object's orbit was also similar to that of the Earth.

After gathering more information about 1991 VG, Scotty realized that this object had passed Earth back in March 1975. Again, this is something that is not typical of an asteroid. They don't tend to run twice in the same location.
Duncan Steele, an astronomer at the University of Adelaide, suggested that it might be an "alien probe" that is observing in close proximity to our planet. He only mentioned this theory to refute it. In other interviews, he has stated that he is not convinced that VG 1991 is of extraterrestrial origin.
That hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from continuing to spread the idea of the object's extraterrestrial origin. They are still
He is adhered to this version, citing the work of the astronomer Steele as the main source.
