3I/ATLAS Comet Unveils Unprecedented Radio Signal: Experts Are Baffled
On 24 October 2025, South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope detected a signal that has left astronomers stunned. The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS produced a narrow-band hydroxyl absorption at 1665 and 1667 MHz, a range known as the 'water hole.' This quiet region of the spectrum has long been considered significant in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Yet no comet-like object has ever produced such a signature before. A Rare Record of …
MeerKAT Radio Telescope Findings Reveal 3I/ATLAS Absorbing Life-Linked Frequencies – As Its Closest Approach To Earth Occurs Days Before Christmas
For weeks, astrophysicists, planetary-defense specialists, SETI researchers, and even theologians have been quietly wrestling with a singular question that has no precedent in recorded human history: Why would an interstellar object produce a narrow-band absorption signature at 1665 and 1667 MHz—two frequencies so scientifically significant that SETI researchers have considered them a prime channel for A groundbreaking USA Herald investigation in
