Let's say for the sake of argument that you are correct, It was a warning shot. The question then becomes, why? and for what would they "shoot this warning shot" over? Have we upset some cosmic deity? Are Aliens watching us, getting pissed and then they send a "warning shot" while not communicating anything else thus resulting in humanity continuing down the path that originally caused them to fire it off which in turn just makes this alien force angrier, so much so that they fire off a "real shot" directly at earth? So many questions...

wrong. No outgassing has been detected, and that's not the same thing.

The assumption that absence of evidence of outgassing is evidence of it's absence is based on objects from the Solar System, which are full of dust that is easily detectable when outgassing occurs - however, as this is an interstellar object, we have no reason to assume that it's composition is even remotely similar to all other objects we have seen so far. It could simply be composed of stuff much cleaner than the comets and minor planets we find in the Solar System, therefore producing transparent outgassing, not detectable directly by our telescopes. This is, in fact, the most likely explanation.

No. Say there was a ship in a far distant orbit of our sun though. The slingshot could have been used to intentionally intercept the probe. If you are intent of having a quiet probe you do not want it to emit noises. The probe would need to be intercepted in this case to retrieve the data.

More interesting questions then become how far out could it be, what speed is this ship orbiting or passing by at, what kind of cannon can launch an object that size at those speeds and how would they catch it again?

It is an event that resonates throughout the universe.

Keanu Reeves is a phony.
I'm talking about the real deal here and you are just joking.

A true immortal cannot hide nor is he some common actor. A true immortal is not just an immortal. He can perform everything humans do in a much superior level. Science, math, music, acting, business, everything. Compared to a human he is a god.

If there was an immortal among us he would revered as a god and he would propel every aspect of human life centuries forward.

This is why eventually I will have to leave earth. I will forward your sciences into the future yes, but overdoing it would be doing you a disservice.

I will create music and art so perfect that after a point it will be maddening for you to even try and comprehend it.

Naturally I will become the leader of Earth, revered as a God, and usher the human race into a utopian future.

But eventually I will have to leave because I will have no more to gain from you, or you from me. Of course I will leave my legacy behind, my art, my scientific discoveries, as well as some sort of advanced AI to take care of you.

But ultimately I will have to depart and where I go you cannot follow. But do not weep. The time for farewells has not yet come. I will be with you for at least a few centuries until it's time for me to go. My legacy has only just begun after all.

No warning shot would be fired, if those were alience then instead of ice melts creating natural thrusters simulating the behavior, it means they actually veered off course on purpose just to get a better look at the Earth, and then course corrected after they passed by.

Outgassing is a highly visible phenomenon, everyone's eyes were trained on the first intersteller object in the solar system, that came within 80 moons of earth, which isn't even close to too far away to see outgassing, and didn't outgas.
If you're watching a dude drive on a road, and he doesn't fly into the air, you can't argue "well just because we didn't see him flying in the air doesn't mean he wasn't!" without sounding a little dense.
There's no evidence that the comet used outgassing as a method of propulsion or as the means to change its direction in a way that should otherwise be considered artificial, only that it did.

Not a warning shot, as much as it is a warning sign. Due to the anomalous features of this visitor Im inclined to believe it is in fact a probe, the acceleration as it was leaving being the biggest one. I can think of only two reasons they would send out a probe this way, and thats because theyre either a) scouting out habitable planets or b) they've become aware of the existence of life in this solar system. With how perfectly tuned this planet is its an extremely valuable item either way, and theres a very strong possibility that we might be suddenly invaded anywhere from 10-200 years from now. Assuming it is a probe, of course.

Distance through vacuum is irrelevant.
Angular resolution and light-gathering are everything.

Yep, and there might be a teapot orbiting saturn. Doesn't mean it's worth thinking about.

You've just said the equivalent of "we can beat the diffraction limit with a massive telescope". In other words you're stoopid.

If you want the solutions, for telescopes it's either using metamaterials or gravitational lensing.

They would if they slingshot around a centre of stellar mass. Are you an idiot?
