Only Questions

Looking at this strange metallic object we only have questions. Questions that have no answer even if we try to find one all we would end up finding would be some hypothetical assumptions and theories. From the footage, it seemed like it was examining the surroundings. Like we send our spaceships to another planet to collect the sample, could this metal thing be fulfilling the same purpose for the unknown living in some other galaxy or maybe on the planets near to Earth.
