This looks like another case of Avi advertising astronomy rather than solid speculation.

He did before with Oumuamua.

I don’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling about this. I hope it’s Jesus returning . We need him more than ever.

Avi Loeb and alien “comet” invasion - Ping

“Dr. Avi Loeb, science professor at Harvard University”

Just because you a Harvard Prof, does not stop you from trolling for clicks and internet fame points. More fame means more money rolling in.

So if it has a ‘tail’ in front of it while it’s approaching the sun, we *really* need to constantly monitor if the velocity is dropping or the course is changing in ways that system gravity cannot explain. A ‘tail’ counter to solar wind direction increases the likelihood that that object has a reaction or other drive with an exhaust or it has some sort of ablative or repulsive shield in the fr, assuming this isn’t an observational error.

How many times does this story get posted? The conclusion that this comet is being controlled by aliens is the ultimate non-science fiction. I rank it in the category of the Heavens Gate people.

And he just might be right.

I would think any alien 👽 predator or otherwise would be capable of interstellar travel far superior than a 130,000mph craft. The logistics alone for a multi epoch light year journey not to mention letting a potential adversary having months to prepare and respond.

I guess it it starts slowing down we can get excited.

“Harvard”, “professor”......nough said.

.....or a rock....or Rosie ODonnel returning to America.

WAG science is fun.

Once upon a time, Harvard was a respected institute of higher learning.

The object — dubbed 3I/ATLAS — was first detected in early July by an Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS, telescope located in Chile.

Someone on board obviously forgot to turn on the cloaking device. /sarc

Speculation sold a lot of oil wells in the 1930’s too.

Yep, it’ll be landing in the Bermuda Triangle.
