A comet known as 3I/ATLAS, confirmed to have originated outside Earth’s solar system in July, has sparked debate among scientists. Researchers led by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb have proposed a theory that the object could be alien technology.
While 3I/ATLAS displays characteristics of an icy comet, such as its unusual trajectory and size, Loeb suggests it may be something more extraordinary – intelligent control systems designed to avoid detection.
However, other experts cast serious doubt on this theory, stating that it is “nonsense on stilts” and dismisses the idea of an artificial interstellar object.
Loeb has made similar claims in the past, including metallic spheres being extraterrestrial, but his research often receives criticism from other scientists.
