Here is a time lapse of comet 3I/ATLAS recorded with my 8" LX200. The comet is about magnitude 17, right at the limit of what my scope can capture with these 60 second exposures. It's extremely faint, so I also stacked 65 minutes of light aligned on the comet using astrometry. pic.twitter.com/ROT8fdkkcW— Astronomy Live (@astroferg) July 21, 2025

Nice try... But this nonsense has been fully debunked.

an arrival window near Earth projected for late November or early December 2025

Unless it deviates massively from its trajectory (which means, yeah, it's an alien spacecraft), its "arrival window near Earth" will still be 170 million miles away.

I do agree with the article that we (humanity) need to put more effort toward planetary defense. That is something where the UN could actually be helpful, but it would probably be more efficient for the major spacefaring nations to set up some sort of permanent working group to devise a plan or plans.

There's not much we can about something coming at us from outside the solar system at 150,000 mph, though. It's moving too fast and there's not enough warning time to set something up to intercept it. For reference, 150,000 mph is more than twice as fast as any manmade spacecraft has travelled.
