Abstract
Here we investigate the possibility that the asteroid 1I/2017 U1 actually is a Solar System object, currently expelled from the Solar System by the recent encouter with a Solar System planet. We show that this possibility is extremely unlikeley and that 1I/2017 U1 really is an interstellar object.
