US EditionHarvard professor believes interstellar comet could be alien spacecraft
SOLAR SYSTEM, JUL 31 – 3I/ATLAS is the largest interstellar comet observed, about 7 miles wide, traveling at 135,000 mph, and offers rare insights into ancient galactic material, scientists say.
- 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.

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
