Alien Invasion? "Comet" 3I ATLAS
Posted on 10/30/25 at 5:13 pm

The Story of 3I/ATLAS3I/ATLAS (also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS)) is an interstellar comet discovered on July 1, 2025, by NASA's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Río Hurtado, Chile. It's the third confirmed object from outside our solar system to visit ours, following 'Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. The name breaks down as follows: "3I" for the third interstellar object ("I" standing for interstellar), and "ATLAS" honoring the discovery team.
This comet is a scientific goldmine for studying interstellar chemistry and planetary formation elsewhere in the galaxy. Global efforts, including amateurs, are coordinated via NASA's International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) to track it.

Zombie are a bigger threat.

I'd love for it to be aliens, but its simply not and Loeb is being intentionally cute about the possibility that it could be

Is this the same comet from the previous several post? Or is there more than 1 comet coming?

Project Blue Beam failed.
If aliens showed up, people would debate and discuss it for a week and then get distracted and go back to wanking off to Instagram and Disney cartoons.

I hope we're invaded by Tribbles.
I bet they taste good.

Loeb is either knowingly bullshitting or in need of a neuropsych exam.

Is this going to happen everyday until it’s 27 trillion miles away?

Probably AI

I watched what I'm describing as a non grifty or hyperbolic video on 3I/Atlas.
Yes, it does mention some suspect things like radio signals or that it came from the same general part of the sky as the WOW! signal from 1977. And it dismissed the claim that it was a massive 'tic tac' sized object, due to the lower resolution and long exposure of a Mars rover image. Not the best for detailing passing by interstellar objects.
But most of the content was on the actual known artifacts that have been noteworthy. The unusual chemistry of the rock. It's likely heavy density, unlike most comets.
But why has NASA NOT released information it acknowledged it collected via other, higher resolution instruments from Mars probes in orbit?
- Because NASA are being bitches and using the Shut down as an excuse, knowing there's nothing truly mind blowing, albeit really interesting new data regarding a cosmic rock that's flying around
.- it's Aliens.
It's never aliens, until it is.
We'll find out when the object comes around the other side of the sun. In about a month, then we'll know. Something.

However unusual this object is, it's flying around too fast for us to worry about. Unless it slows down and changes course, OR we see object(s) detach from it and head towards Earth orbit, it's a new thing to put into the galactic encyclopedia of cool space stuff that's out there. Nothing more.

Worst case scenario is that it doesn’t re-appear from behind the sun.
