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!'

Your comment is similar to my thoughts. Let’s assume this rock does have some intelligent alien creatures in it. Today’s scientists have no idea how to communicate with them.

And the six word message this clown wants to send reminds me of the 1960’s hippy mentality.

“Harvard physicist Avi 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.”

How special. Grant money. You can’t beat it.

PUSSIFIED SCENTISTS: “We welcome our new interstellar overlords.”

ALIENS: “Anal probe them first.”

String theory, multiverses, our universe inside a black hole, quantum gravity, and, now, an alien spaceship made of rocks and ice...

The level of scientific absurdity for physicists, in the past 60 years, has no limits...

LOL! I was thinking similarly while reading of the new bridge project linking Sicily with mainland Italy: “Guido’s Trattoria - Leave your gun, buy our cannoli!”

It may well be a Galactus promoting the Fantastic Four movie. They let associate producers do anything now days so long as their checks clear.

Radio is alive and well. You got a cell phone? A GPS? Radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) not only controls air traffic these days, but cruise control on cars. Ships cannot navigate in bad weather without it. Ever hear of WiFi? Or satellite telephone? Radio is more prolific and widespread than ever. AM and FM, like polygamy and slavery, are vestiges of an earlier barbaric era and therefore moribund, but radio is more ubiquitous than ever. Broadcast TV will soon go the way human sacrifice.

Plan 9 from Harvard space. This is as absurd as scifi movies which render "advanced civilizations" so ignorant of humans that they walk up to armed soldiers and startle them with a device, or that the aliens go around hunting down humans piecemeal to destroy them.

In this case, the aliens are imagined to be unable to cloak their vehicle, which ability must be assumed if UFO sightings are real. Which seem to possess AABT (advanced alien blurring technology) that prevents any clear detailed images of them.
