My prime candidate for something stealthy would be an old neutron star. The spin axis is pointed so what energy it does emit isn't aimed where they can see it. | |

| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:27 | comment | added | kaine | @Fulli bowlturner is correct about it not being seen which is why I suggested the large rogue planet (which is simular to a brown dwarf). If going fast enough, they appear almost out of nowhere as we cannot send a probe (light) out everywhere to get it to reflect, it does not emmit much compared to background, it does not obstruct much from far away, and it is not part of out well studied neighboring region of space. White dwarf would be easier to see. I would also bring with it moons an other material which you would like. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:00 | comment | added | bowlturner | maybe, a brown dwarf really doesn't give off much visible light and if say it comes in on a path directly from a nearby supernova, it might get fairly close before it eclipses the star. It's also large enough that they might not be looking for such objects coming at them. if it got shot out of a large star it might be traveling at a very high rate and making it harder to detect ahead of time. | |
