The six-word plea scientists aim to send before mysterious interstellar object reaches Earth
UK Daily Mail ^ | 8/12/2025 | Stacy Liberatore

Scientists are urging NASA to send a message to a mysterious interstellar object before it is too late.

The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is traveling on a rare retrograde path and will reach its closest point to the sun on October 29, 2025, which Harvard physicist Avi Loeb suggested could be an ideal window for a covert approach on Earth.

While Loeb is not 100 percent sure 3I/ATLAS is of alien origin, he proposed communicating with it as a precaution and crafted a six-word message for the occasion.

The physicist told the Daily Mail that he wants to beam, 'Hello, welcome to our neighborhood. Peace!'

Loeb has identified 10 of the zero last alien visitors during his career.

Didn’t they try to talk to the alien in “The Thing” 1951? And in Independence Day?
Don’t talk to interstellar aliens unless they talf first. We never learn.
By the way ..Loeb needs to have his brain lobes looked at.

“The six-word plea scientists aim to send before mysterious interstellar object reaches Earth”

how about:

“Drink More Ovaltine” ... oh wait, that’s only three words

“To Serve Mankind” ... oh shoot, that’s only three words too

“Those 6 words were, of course, one of the vilest and slanderous terms one could make in that alien race and thus interstellar war was inevitable once the message was sent.”

Transmit a quote from Kamala to keep them busy with the translation.

I would say we should put a giant post mark on it, but apparently we still don’t have anything fast enough to keep up with it.

Harvard physicist Avi Loeb’s cornbread might not be quite done in the middle.

Harvard needs to lose it’s accreditation.

Based on this alone.

The closest the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS will be to Earth occurs around December 19th, 2025. The “closest” it will be to Earth is 170 million miles. I suggest we launch this Harvard “scientist” to take a closer look.

What makes the “scientists” think the aliens can read and understand English? They don’t have Duolingo.
