I think that was supposed to be some kind of small black hole passing through the solar system or something more exotic. Maybe I'm misremembering. Great book though and still haunts me sometimes when staring up at the night sky:)

He never actually said what it was. I think some people floated theories, but the book never reveals the answer.

I had also interpreted it as a small solo black hole. Which it itself a scary concept.

Especially if it was a member of a band before going solo.
