Nobody said it meant 'buildings' as you say.......
Can this prey-tell be what Richard Hoagland was trying to convey in his preamble smatterings about this asteroid being an A.I. space-craft?
So if they didn't see it and only detected it why would they use the words 'strange structures'? How do they know it's not part of its natural formation?

"Strange Structures" as in odd surface formations, not necessacarily "alien buildings" or intelligently manufactured alien base.
Then why not use those exact words so to not have any further debate about this?
Because as I see it: that's your opinion and your interpretation.

It is odd to me that they would call them structures, but I think they were merely trying to say they do not understand exactly what they are seeing/what is suppose to be on the surface of this object.
structure (ˈstrʌktʃə)

1. a complex construction or entity ...

Does anyone know of any updates or news on yu55 ?? NASA website doesn't seem to have anything ?
It's very small and 200,000 miles away.

Thanks for the info "Soylent green is people " !! IMO NASA and all these astronomers should be studying things a bit closer to home ? They seem to be able to detect a little planet fart a billion miles away but something is on our doorstep and nobody can get a decent look at it ??? Something is definately wrong here !!!

An interesting discrepancy in the size estimates of YU55, from Arecibo and the Herschel Space Observatory. Both are considered to be quite accurate, yet each gives a substantially different figure for the diameter. Before Arecibo gave their results in April, 2010, it was assumed, on weaker evidence, that the true diameter was about 200 meters.&&&&& I wonder if it's possible that the object is an unexpectedly good reflector of radio waves, and this made the Arecibo radar give a erroneously large diameter.
