Remember The "Interstellar Object" That Scientists Discovered Flying Through Our Solar System Earlier This Month That They Tried To Say Was Just "A Ball Of Ice"? Well A Harvard Physicist Now Says It Could Potentially Be a “Hostile” Alien Spacecraft That’s Slated to Attack Our Planet in November
Yahoo News - A team of researchers has presented the wild theory that an interstellar object might be hostile "alien technology" that could reach Earth in fall 2025.
The "inflammatory paper" was published on July 16 on the preprint server arXiv.
According to Live Science, the paper is controversial, was not peer-reviewed, and experts think its claims are "nonsense," however.
That site says that other scientists believe the object is natural.
3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1 "barreling toward the sun at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h)," and is a confirmed "interstellar object," according to Live Science, but "initial observations strongly suggest" it's a large comet "surrounded by a cloud of ice, gas and dust called a coma," the site reported.
The paper in question is titled, "Is the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Alien Technology?" It was written by Adam Hibberd, Adam Crowl, and Abraham Loeb.
According to Live Science, Loeb is a Harvard University astronomer who is "renowned for linking extraterrestrial objects to intelligent aliens."
"At this early stage of its passage through our Solar System, 3I/ATLAS, the recently discovered interstellar interloper, has displayed various anomalous characteristics, determined from photometric and astrometric observations," the research trio wrote.
"As largely a pedagogical exercise, in this paper we present additional analysis into the astrodynamics of 3I/ATLAS, and hypothesize that this object could be technological, and possibly hostile as would be expected from the 'Dark Forest' resolution to the 'Fermi Paradox'. We show that 3I/ATLAS approaches surprisingly close to Venus, Mars and Jupiter..." the paper continued.
So for those of you new here, allow me to catch you up to speed-
Some NASA eggheads down in Chile were peeping through their taxpayer-funded telescopes when they spotted a new object barreling through the solar system at the time, at 130,000 mph. They slapped a name on it that sounds like a Star Wars droid having a stroke- 3I/ATLAS. And tried to tell the public it’s “just a comet.”
But luckily, a Harvard professor, alien enthusiast, and world-renowned astro-physicist Avi Loeb told everybody -
He took one good look at 3I/ATLAS and said, “Fellas, that’s no comet. That’s a Manhattan-sized hunk of hostile alien tech and, honestly, we might want to start prepping for intergalactic butt stuff.” (paraphrasing)
And he's got big brain data to back up his claim.
He points out that this thing’s orbit is way too precise.
The odds that it just randomly lines up with Earth’s orbital plane? Half a percent. The odds that NASA’s going to tell us the truth if it isn’t? Even lower.
Credit to the brave women and men out there who continue to ask questions and doubt mainstream narratives. Anybody with a brain, who's had their eyes open around here for long enough knew this wasn't some fucking iceball burning through the galaxy at 150,000 miles per hour.
Does this look like a fucking iceball to you?
This thing’s coming so close to Venus, Mars, and Jupiter that, statistically, it’s basically aiming for the VIP section. When it gets closest to the sun, it’ll be totally hidden from Earth’s view. That’s not sketchy at all.
But don’t worry. European scientists say there’s no evidence of aliens, which is exactly what they’d say if there were aliens.
All this is happening while the science community is split down the middle. The paper calling this 3I/ATLAS thing a possible alien weapon literally references "the Dark Forest theory" from sci-fi novels, which basically says the universe is a cosmic version of The Purge. Where everybody shoots first, and asks questions never.
Glass half empty prognosis = we end up as background extras in the Independence Day remake.
Glass half full prognosis = This thing just slingshots around the sun, we all forget about it, and Loeb gets another spot on Joe Rogan.

Either way, if you’re not even a little excited that Harvard’s top alien hunter thinks we’re being scoped out by aliens, you must not have a pulse.
