Sednoids orbiting in the kuiper belt are totally different from extrasolar objects on hyperbolic trajectories. Oamuamua passed inside Mercury's orbit.


Yes, but both classes of objects are very dificult to detect, due to distance, size and lack of brightness. We only detected the extrasolar object once it had already passed perihelion and was on its way out.
