Since Apollo, the Shuttle and ISS finished, NASA don’t have much to shout about any more. They have to keep public interest up. More interest = more $ to spend.

You know this is nowt to do with NASA, right?

I may be being cynical here, but my money is on the object being one of the following:
a) a big lump of rock
b) a big lump of ice
c) a big lump of rock and ice

In all probability it is just a big piece of rock. From what I gather from the story, Project Listen at SETI are an existing project who have been honing techniques and eqipment to listen to objects for some time, and are just using this object to test out their current gear on, not because they expect to find anything but just because it's there so why not?
 
Or it could just be a piece of rock like the other billions of pieces of rock floating round the universe
 
They reckon it may not be due to the density of it, plus its the first extra terrestrial rock that's been recorded to come in from outside of our solar system on a different orbit so it will only visit once.

Probably is like but still interesting.

It will be "A", its not leaving a trail so its not an Ice object which is why they are getting excited thinking it could be metal, that and its a weird shape as well apparently.
