Isn't the speed too slow for it to be advanced tech?
Taking millions of years to travel between stars surely isn't advanced tech.
If it had the ability to greatly change speed, why didn't it do a
inspection tour of all the solar system planets?
The trajectory suggests that it is more likely that it was just
randomly flung into the Solar System and then out again.
