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.

'We’ve Never Seen Such a Thing': Top Scientist Says Mysterious Space Object Could Be Alien Craft
A top Harvard scientist is warning that a strange object flying through our solar system may not be what NASA says it is. In fact, he believes it might be something much more serious—possibly an alien spacecraft. “We’ve never seen such a thing,” said Professor Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist, during an interview on News Nation. The object—named 3I/ATLAS—was spotted on July 1 by a NASA-funded telescope in Chile. NASA quickly labeled it an “int…
A Harvard physicist warns against an 11-kilometre object that runs through our solar system at 200,000 km/h and may be of extraterrestrial origin. The trajectory is particularly striking for the researcher.
Comet could be 'alien tech,' should be investigated: Avi Loeb
(NewsNation) — A newly-discovered interstellar object speeding through the solar system should be investigated over the possibility that it's an alien craft, according to theoretical physicist Avi Loeb. Loeb, a Harvard professor and bestselling author of "Extraterrestrial," believes the supposed comet named 3I/ATLAS has "anomalies" and could be of alien origin. "It moves on a trajectory that is very unusual," Loeb told "Elizabeth Vargas Reports"…
Super-Fast New Comet Could Be Evil 'Alien Technology,' Harvard Professor Argues — but Other Experts Disagree
“We shouldn't assume anything, and we should assess the risk given the data that we have,” Avi Loeb said of 3I/ATLASInternational Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/K. Meech (IfA/U.

That an object moving through our solar system was not created by nature is inferred from its shape and size.
