Actually IF this ship IS 'returning' then it is most likely the "Black Night Satellite" first spotted 'officially' in 1960, but possibly as early as 1927 with signals...

Richard Boylan brings it ups as the Monolith spotted by Apollo 10

And we all know what Arthur C Clark had to say about it in 2001-2010

But more to the point in "Rendevous with Rama"

In all the sightings and reports ONE THING is common... There is a repeating message... and there is no life on board the vessel... which returns from time to time to NEO...

A Project Camelot interview with Clifford Stone mentions it...

C: Well, I’ll tell you this, I think that by 2016 that something better have happened. Because at 2016 I think that we’re going to have to announce to the world that there’s a probe that comes very close to the Earth every 15 or 20 years. And we’ve been calling it an asteroid. It’s not an asteroid. But it actually in reality is an artificial probe. In other words, somebody else put it here. They have found us long time ago. The technology will probably be pretty much on a par to, say, Voyager. It’ll be old antiquated technology by all their standards.

K: So what are you saying? Is this probe… do you know what race?

C: I’m saying we have already found it. Our paradigm says that it can’t be an artificial craft of any sort, therefore we refuse to accept that and we call it an asteroid. I’m talking about BG1991. Roughly 30 meters in diameter, highly polished surface. Asteroids don’t have a highly polished surface. It took corrective course changes to avoid collision with another asteroid. That don’t happen. This one it did.

K: So where... what race is this from, from what planet? Do you know?

C: I don’t know.

Here is my data collected so far...
