Harvard professor believes interstellar comet could be alien spacecraft

SOLAR SYSTEM, JUL 31 – 3I/ATLAS is the largest interstellar object observed, with an estimated diameter up to 20 kilometers, providing unique insights into planetary system formation beyond our Solar System.

  • 3I/ATLAS was detected on July 1 by NASA's ATLAS telescope in Chile, making it the third known interstellar object recorded.
  • Avi Loeb, a theoretical physicist, suggested that 3I/ATLAS might be an alien craft due to its unusual trajectory and behavior.
  • Richard Moissl from the European Space Agency stated that there are no signs of non-natural origins for 3I/ATLAS based on current observations.
  • NASA/JPL-Caltech confirmed that observations align with a space-weathered natural object with weak cometary activity.
