CAN THEY TAKE OCCASIONAL CORTEX OCASIO-CORTEZ HOME? Just today at lunch I was remarking to my husband how she seems to be reverting to her insectoid form. Interstellar object may have been alien probe, Harvard paper argues, but experts are skeptical.

Of course, she’s not sentient.  Maybe some kind of interstellar pet that got lose?  Somewhere on the intergalactic byways there are posters saying “Occasional Cortex missing. Please help.”
