A mysterious object named 3I/ATLAS, about the size of Manhattan, just entered our solar system. Harvard’s Avi Loeb says it might be an alien spacecraft. Might as well. Things couldn’t get much crazier.

It MIGHT be a lot of things. A scientist blurting out something without any basis in fact or study makes me wonder if the scientist is high.

Fascinated by all of the water this 7 sq. mi. orb contains. Not that the object is square. Ever confuse object with abject. Here, DJT is object abjectly bad. Abjectly If they destroy us & prevent us from destroying ourselves do we hate them or show our gratitude? I guess we’ll know more in November?

Last time Avi Loeb thought something was an alien spacecraft it led him to throw a tantrum at the lady who runs the SETI program on a public zoom call. Like my opinion of Harvard has taken many hits in the last 10 years but Avi Loeb is the full clown makeup

You realise the “it’s aliens” made absolutely no sense right? Aliens must just love spinning uncontrollably and accelerating just enough to be detectable but not enough to change orbit in any meaningful way?

Imagine. This object is estimated to be 7 billion years old. What a grand and mysterious mind God must have to send this ball of rock and water vapor hurling at us, some 2.5 billion years before the Earth even existed! Surely this is potent evidence thst the universe was created just for mankind.

Just in case anyone wasn't aware, Avi Loeb is fucking touched in the head. He sees aliens everywhere. It's no coincidence that 99% of the times he's mentioned it's directly next to the word "harvard" so that he can soak up that academic credibility right before he goes all Giorgio Tsoukalos

"As largely a pedagogical exercise, in this paper we present additional analysis into the astrodynamics of 3I/ATLAS, and hypothesize that this object could be technological, and possibly hostile as would be expected from the ’Dark Forest’ resolution to the ’Fermi Paradox’."

"the low retrograde tilt of 3I/ATLAS’s orbital plane to the ecliptic offers various benefits to an Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (ETI), since it allows the object access to our planet with relative impunity."
jul 25, 2025, 11:39 pm • 1 0 • view
"The eclipse by the Sun from Earth of 3I/ATLAS at perihelion, would allow it to conduct a clandestine reverse Solar Oberth Manoeuvre, an optimal high-thrust strategy for interstellar spacecraft to brake and stay bound to the Sun."
