Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Harvard Scientist Avi Loeb are calling for NASA to monitor the Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as it passes the sun on Halloween Eve to ensure it does not drop off “mini probes” that could invade Earth.
Luna (R-Fla.) and the Ivy league astrophysicist appeared together on a podcast and called for both the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Jupiter’s Juno probe to adjust their current courses and monitor the object that NASA has deemed a comet.
“If we are visited by a technological object like 3I/ATLAS — it could either visit us or release some mini-probes that arrive to Earth and appear as UAP,” Loeb told “The Sol Foundation” podcast, released Friday, referring to the technical term for UFOs.
“And we need to be aware of that possibility.”
“I asked the research team to monitor the sky after October when 3I/ATLAS comes close to the Sun just to check if there is any additional activity in the atmosphere of the Earth as a result of it releasing, maybe, mini-probes.”
Luna, the chairwoman of the House Declassification Task Force, has previously urged NASA to exert the Uno orbital spacecraft, currently outside of Jupiter, to “seize the opportunity” and motor nearby the pathway of 3I/ATLAS.
“In the event that there is life, is it not our obligation to inform the public on that?” Luna asked rhetorically on the podcast.
Luna further teased major revelations to come from Tuesday’s hearing on UAPs — commonly known as UFOs.

drop off “mini probes” that could invade Earth.
I think this was the premise of Harry Turtledove’s alternate history series, “World War.”
Is she saying, size matters?
This is a joke, right?
No, this is quite serious. This massive object is seeding the solar system.
It’s in a retrograde hyperbolic orbit. About the dumbest way to drop anything off. They have to slow down by about 60 miles/sec if they want to visit anything . We can’t see it get close to Mars because the Sun will be in the way.
Are you kidding??? 3i/Atlas is one big rock.
I thought Luna was one of the sane ones in Congress.
It cooould… Ooor… It could NOT!
You actually take this seriously?
Rules are important.
Grok:
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth. Its closest approach to our planet will be approximately 1.8 astronomical units (about 270 million kilometers or 170 million miles) on December 19, 2025, which is a safe distance. The comet follows a hyperbolic trajectory, meaning it is not gravitationally bound to the Sun and will pass through the solar system without coming dangerously close to Earth. It will approach Mars more closely (0.19 AU, or 28 million kilometers) on October 3, 2025, and reach its closest point to the Sun (1.4 AU, or 210 million kilometers) around October......
It is easier to say “UFO” than it is to say “UAP, commonly known as UFO”.
Are all young women today tatted up?
Gee, things are looking worse and worse. Can’t wait to see what NEXT week’s fear porn merchants will excrete.

Now they are just f**king with us.
I was wondering if that was a tattoo or if maybe she was growing poison ivy in her....nether region.
