Although many stars and gas streamers crowd in near the black hole, objects generally have nondescript, elliptical orbits around that central beast. But G2 follows a “supersquinched ellipse,” making a beeline for the black hole, whipping around it, and shooting straight back out again, says galactic center researcher Daryl Haggard (Amherst College).
One team, led out of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany, favors the cloud idea; the other, out of the University of California, Los Angeles, favors the star idea.

You still don't understand a black hole has many different forms other than being a giant trash compactor, do you?

in any case. My guess is. It's the Borg. I told them where I was at.
They're on their way here.

B: Maybe there is no such thing as a Blackhole nor is there one
at the center of some galaxies.

Aliens using the black hole as a slingshot?
Give one Hell of a kick, save fuel and time. At least that's what I'd like to think. Think of the size of that ship if we can detect it from here!

That object is doing exactly as does long-period comets that zip into our sun and move around it in a tight orbit before they move back out into deep space along virtually the same track they came in on.
We call such comets "sungrazers."
