Interesting, so it might reach another system with beings around about out level of advancement who monitor it entering their solar system and they will debate whether it was a comet or asteroid, One scientist will suggest it could be an artificial relic from another solar system and they will be ridiculed by their fellow scientists..."oh it's always about aliens with Jim"

No. Some lying attention hog will just mouth what EVERYBODY is thinking. Claim he is the only one to think of it...and brand everyone else as an Inquisition style oppressor because they dont ignore the scientific method the way your hero does.

Give it up already.

It probably wont have any working electronics left. But it will still be intact.

Might wander into another solar system. Though the odds are small.

And ...beings...in the solar system might find it. The odds of that combined with the above are tiny times tiny.

But the beings might then figure out that ...this thing...was not a natural space rock, but manufactured by some intelligent species...SOME where.

I dont know if Voyager is the one that Carl Sagan put that picture plaque on.
