I've seen several articles recently which mention that the citizen-survey project "Backyard Worlds: Planet 9" has discovered a nearby (~400 LY) brown dwarf which is headed toward the galactic center at greater than the Milky Way's escape velocity.
The initial pre-publication article seems to be
Discovery of a Hypervelocity L Subdwarf at the Star/Brown Dwarf Mass Limit
by Adam J. Burgasser et al.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.08578
Its origin is unknown and still being researched.
Might this actually be an advanced non-human expedition sent to explore the galactic center?
I'm sure it'd be the object of expeditions sent by OA polities.
