3I/ATLAS object moving toward Earth



https://www.metrowestdailynews.com/s...r/85512456007/

https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/comets/3i-atlas/

BREAKING: Harvard's Professor Avi Loeb calculates that the mysterious 3I/ATLAS interstellar object has only a 0.005% chance of being natural, raising alarming questions about its true origin. Racing toward our solar system at 60 kilometers per second, this Manhattan-sized visitor approached from the Milky Way center's direction - the perfect camouflage for an undetected approach.

As Loeb warns in his latest Medium article: "If 3I/ATLAS represents a spacecraft of 20-kilometer size, as envisioned by Arthur C. Clark in his novel 'Rendezvous with Rama,' we should worry about its intent." The timing is chilling - this object could have started its 80-year journey just as humanity began widespread radio broadcasting, effectively announcing our technological civilization to the cosmos.

Loeb emphasizes that our chemical rockets cannot bridge the 98 kilometer-per-second velocity gap, leaving humanity essentially defenseless if this proves to be alien technology. With no international protocol for alien contact and the object's trajectory perfectly aligned to study Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, we're facing humanity's most critical moment.


For those unaware, basically there is a 20 kilometer object moving toward us DIRECTLY from the center of our Milky Way galaxy, with an unnatural movement pattern and it'll get here around November. And supposedly there is only a 0.005% chance that it's a natural phenomenon like a comet or something. Also, it sounds like it may have started its journey towards us at right around the same time we started sending signals into space.

Meanwhile, it's people from the future who had to leave Earth and figured out how to jump back through time and are returning to stop us from effing everything up.

Basically Wall*E with a twist.



Or... a previous advanced human cavillation who left due to a previous apocalypse and are returning. Immigration troubles about to get way worse.

Definitely a valid point.

Of course, it only needs to happen ONE time for things to go

No scientist with any credibility thinks it's real or even humors the idea.

I have so much to say about this topic, but I feel like I will not be taken seriously and most likely laughed at.

Go ahead. I already saw something as a kid that I still have no answer for (pretty sure I posted about it once), who am I to judge.

A lot of conflicting articles popping up. Some say no no, it's absolutely a comet, others that it can't be a comet, some that it's shrinking, others that it seems to be changing course at different points.

I've said it before with literally billions of planets and solar systems I think there's an extremely high possibility aliens exist.

Whether they're advanced and able to reach us is a separate thing but earth being the only planet with life is so unlikely. I mean other races/civilizations. Not just bacteria or like alien bugs.

I agree 100% with that.

But there are a few things about this "Space Comet Ship"....
1. My understanding is that it's actually vectoring towards a Mars flyby and not an Earth flyby. That means the "aliens" either picked the wrong planet, or? It's a space rock.

2. There are bulls and bears in every space who pick their personality and just stick with it. On a long enough timeline Robert Kiyosaki will be right and there will be a crash. Except that he won't actually be "right" because in order to be "right" you have to proximate and relatable between your position and the prescribed outcome. Same thing with this scientist guy. If he says everything is an alien spaceship then eventually he's "right". It's the oldest trick of "wisdom" in the book.

3. What I've read about the "light reflectioning" is pretty interesting. But you know - we've only had the capability to detect TWO, count 'em TWO interstellar objects in all of human history. That's not a lot of data to go by, and my guess is that as technology improves we will see a lot of "interstellar objects" coming around that we never knew where there.

4. Look... I'm not saying that it's aliens, okay? But it's aliens. j/k

Remember when people thought this was an alien spacecraft that would land on earth tomorrow?

If they said this with a mesmerizing "magical hoodrat hands cadence" like Gavin Newsom then it might gain more traction.
