He’s usually right - the object has so many anomalies that it could be anything, including a Dark Forest object.
My prior comments
... this is a very unusual object that is exhibiting never before seen behavior, while crossing the solar system in such a way that it defies random chance to the vanishing point.
All solar objects have their own gravitational field: some almost none [ a 20 foot diameter asteroid ], to a lot [ the Sun ]. In this case, as explained, the ‘cloud’ [ if it is a cloud of particles ] is not supposed to be there yet, as it is too far away from the Sun to form, and has a tail facing the wrong way. The ‘cloud’ itself shows no chemical signatures, if it were an out-gassing like a normal comet. It is too small to have a shroud of particles together by gravity alone - and such a thing has never before been seen in the millions and millions of objects surveyed.
There are extreme explanations for most of the features seen, but none in this combination, and in a combination that some features would preclude some others.
What it actually is, we will know more by Oct 29th, until then ...
The object may be solid and not comet, which would make it 10-20 km in diameter. traveling at 100km per sec relative to the Earth.
If were some sort of Dark Forest object, and it changes course behind the Sun on Oct 29th, and comes toward Earth at that speed, its ELE time, baby!
This object is the largest by far that we have ever observed passing through the solar system; the odds of this size interstellar object randomly making very close approach to Mars, Venus and Jupiter, while traveling at 100km/sec, are so vanishingly small that it would take reams of paper to write the number.
Just to make matters a bit more scary, the object does not change brightness, but rather seems to be obscured by a dust cloud, which it should not have, that far from the Sun. Some observations seem to imply it does indeed rotate, and that its is thinner than it is wide. but no one can say for sure about this characteristic at the current distance.
To add more fuel to the fire, spectrographic analysis of the object has detected no chemical out-gassing whatsoever. Further, the ‘tail’ or glow does not point away from the Sun, but toward it. Which could possibly be explained by a plasma engine braking thrust ... cf: the Vasmir Engine.
But if the worst case scenario comes true, then we have nothing, nothing that would be capable of diverting a 10k object intent on hitting the Earth.
Ocean Impact:
Impact in the Atlantic at 40degN 66degW 500 miles off NYC, water depth 100-200 meters deep: Energy released would be 2.9X10 to the 8th power megatons, aka 290 million megatons; the fireball would consume the entire NE - as far as west to NY, PA, north to ME, New Brunswick, northeast to Nova Scotia, & south to VA. Over pressure wave would be 80lb per sq in, wiping out all buildings as far west as MI, OH, KY, TN, SC, & north to most of eastern Canada. Blast wind would exceeds 1,000km/h, eliminating everything sown to bedrock, followed by an earthquake.
The impact ocean crater would be 100-150km in dia, about 20-40km deep, pushing 10 Trillion kg of material into the atmosphere, 10% of which would reach the stratosphere. The following molten ejecta would cover the east coast, but not to worry, no one would be alive to see the 200-500 meter [ over 1,600 feet ] high tsunami extinguish the fires. Most major cites in Europe would also be taken out by the wave.
Land Impact:
Kansas City MO, USA. The devastation is even worse. Force and blast would be similar, but the area consumed would be bigger: gone with 100% casualties are MN, WI, IN, KY, TN, AL, MS, LA, TX, OK, IA, IL, MO, NE, AR, SD, CO, KS. Over pressure wave obliterates the center of the USA as far west as AZ, MT, WY, as far north as ND, MT, Canada & the Great Lakes region, as far east as PA, NY, GA, south to the FL panhandle, northern Mexico. Accompanied by a magnitude 7 earthquake.
and that was just for starters ... as a trillion kg of molten debris falls out of the stratosphere distributed over the entire planet, causing a short term surface temperature increase of between 5-20deg Celsius for a few hours ... over the entire planet with humans in the open suffering 2nd to 3rd deg burns 10,000 km away from the impact point.
and it gets worse, as the thrown up debris in the upper atmosphere would blot out the Sun, reducing the temperature by 10-20 C. With vast areas of the northern and southern hemispheres completely uninhabitable, conditions would exist for years, and take 100s of 1000s of year for Earth’s ecology to recover.
If human civilization survived at all, it would be set back centuries, if not millennia ...
What will happen if 3I Atlas hits the Earth? [ The Dark Forest Hypothesis ... by the time you need to do something, it will be too late ]

Food for thought.
So when was the last time aliens landed here?
If you want to know the actual truth about what's coming soon, here's a very probable scenario:
Short Preview of Coming Attractions:
The next big event which I believe will most likely happen by the end of this, the 21st Century, will be the surprising, astonishing, and utterly catastrophic Seven-Year Tribulation AKA Daniel's 70th Week, wherein the whole world will die except for a remnant of Israel hiding in the Jordanian mountains.
That horrific seven-year period of God's wrathful judgment upon the earth will end with the Second Coming and return to earth of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords "with ten thousands of his saints" destroying the rest of the world who are waiting in the valley of Megiddo against him - "Armageddon."
Armageddon will be followed by the equally astonishing 1000 year reign of Christ as the Prince of Peace who will rule the nations with a rod of iron with his saints.
All of this is prophesied in detail in the Bible - the same Bible that accurately prophesied in detail the first coming of Jesus Christ as Savoir of the world.
Coming soon...but not quite yet...
I guess I shouldn’t worry about the price of my Apple stock then …
Too much weird stuff involved... thanks for sharing...
It doesn't make a "very close approach" to Venus; it doesn't even get inside the orbit of Earth! And its "very close approach" to Mars projects to be ~ 18 million miles away. That's not very close.
OMG! You have me so scared I’m gonna run out and commit suicide just to relieve the anxiety you created. /s/
I got to thinking about this in a discussion with family and had to search for this article, eventually resting on your post, which i hadn’t read until just now.
This is supposed to wizz by in October of this year.
There is another object forcast to wizz by us on April 13th, 2029. Apophis. It is estimated 1700+ feet long and while still millions of miles away, is forecast to wizz by us a mere 19,000 away, within the orbit of our geostationary satellites (ref wiki entry). Not comforting, considering the inability to accurately forecast hurricane landfall when one is 200 miles away.
Then another thought occurred to me. How much time between these two events?...11/21/2025 to 04/13/2029?
1270 days...three and a half years
If it flys by on October 31st it will be EXACTLY 3.5 later when apophis arrives.
BTW...Apophis “the ancient Greek name for an ancient Egyptian deity called “Apep”—also spelled “Apepi” or “Aapep”—who was seen as the embodiment of chaos and the opponent of light and order in the cosmos. The deity is also associated with earthquakes, thunder, darkness, storms, death and was generally considered to be the greatest force of evil in Egyptian theology.”
So... there’s that to ponder over as we sleep
