3I/ATLAS

 A Harvard researcher has raised concerns about a mysterious interstellar object approaching Earth, suggesting it could be an advanced alien mothership. The object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first discovered on July 1, 2025, by the NASA-funded ATLAS Survey Telescope in Chile. Traveling at more than 130,000 miles per hour, it is an object originating from beyond our solar system. Unlike normal comets, 3I/ATLAS exhibits unusual characteristics.  It shines in front of its path, rather than trailing behind it. And... its path is so close that it brings it close to planets like Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. There is some concern in the scientific community about whether this was chosen deliberately. Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, known for his controversial theories about alien life, has suggested that 3I/ATLAS could be an alien probe or a mothership. He says the object's behavior deviates from natural cometary patterns and raises concerns about its intentions. Loeb suggests that the object's subsolar phase, which will disappear behind the Sun in late November, could be a strategic move to avoid detection. While many scientists consider Loeb's theory to be speculative, 3I/ATLAS's unusual features have also raised concerns. As the object approaches, astronomers are intensifying their observations to determine its nature and potential impacts.
