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!'

We should also warn it that if it enters the asteroid belt, it will be subject to congestion pricing.
We could also issue a speed camera ticket.
Obviously, all of this would require instructions for how to deposit into the US Treasury.
I think 40 trillion will just about do it.
“Nail Washington D.C. please”. Um, that isn’t six.
It’s just a damn rock... Sheesh!

Sometimes "peace" is just another word for surrender.
But then I am not interested in alerting any space travelers to our presence for a bit.
There might not be any Achuultani out there. But why take chances?
“Do you need an extended warranty?”
“Would you like more Chuck Berry?”
Take me to your Leader!
The smartest thing we can do is be very quiet.
Rabbit hunting quiet.
“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.”
Cool, I kind of like covert approaches.
These “scientists” have nothing better to do with their time…..
“It’s just a damn rock... Sheesh!”
...and Loeb wants to talk to it.
I guess that makes him dumber than a rock.
Lol.
Of course, all alien species speak English, just like in the movies.
Paraphrasing Hawking? He said the same thing.
Me, I’m hoping it’s Jesus. Some good Ole shock and awe from God.
Right now the radio broadcast is passing right by it....

Lol.
Someone has been dropping acid and watching sci-fi flicks.
The reply:
“All green of skin... 800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest.”
Be sure to drink more Ovaltine.
“There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”
