US EditionLoeb Claims 30-40% Chance Interstellar Comet is Alien Tech
NASA and ESA Mars orbiters photographed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS shedding 40 kg of water per second as it passed within 19 million miles of Mars in early October 2025.
- A rare interstellar comet, known as 3I/ATLAS, is approaching Mars and has been photographed by two Mars orbiters, according to the European Space Agency.
- NASA stated that comet 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth and will approach the sun around October 30.
- Nick Thomas of the European Space Agency remarked that observing the comet is challenging due to its faintness, being 10,000 to 100,000 times fainter than usual targets.
- Astronomers are keen to study the properties of 3I/ATLAS as it passes through the solar system, with plans for monitoring by various observatories, including the James Webb Space Telescope and NASA's Perseverance rover.

An interstellar visitor lights up the Red Planet’s sky
ESA’s Mars orbiters have observed comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar comet ever discovered. The faint, distant object revealed a glowing coma as it was heated by the Sun. Researchers are still studying the data to understand its makeup and origins. This rare event also foreshadows future missions like the Comet Interceptor, designed to chase such elusive visitors.
Comet 3I/ATLAS is losing water 'like a fire hose' on full blast, 'rewriting what we thought we knew' about alien star systems
Researchers have discovered that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has been shedding water, providing insights into the building blocks of life outside of our solar system and the evolution of interstellar comets.
Astronomer Estimates 30-40 Percent Chance Mysterious Interstellar Object Is Alien Craft Disguised as a Comet
Despite an abundance of data suggesting interstellar object 3I/ATLAS — the third object ever detected ripping through our solar system — is simply a comet, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb still hasn’t shaken the suspicion that something feels off about the lump of ice and carbon dioxide. Since its discovery in early July, Loeb has posited that there’s a chance that 3I/ATLAS is instead a piece of technology sent to us by an intelligent extraterrestri…
