We’re gonna need a bigger telescope.
Scientists have discovered that the 3I/ATLAS — a Manhattan-sized interstellar object that potentially has alien tech — is much larger than previously thought, according to a new report.
First discovered by NASA on July 1, the cosmic anomaly has been under watch by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team as it shoots across the solar system. The object, which is believed to be a comet, reportedly has interstellar origins, making it the third ever object from beyond the solar system ever detected after ‘Oumuamua, which was discovered in 2017, and 2I/Borisov in 2019.
Now the team has gleaned some “sizable” new intel on the interstellar visitor, namely that the “mass of 3I/ATLAS must be bigger than 33 billion tons,” per a blog post by Loeb.

When it stops and says , “all earth belong to us “ then you can worry ,LOL
Worst trade in history, except for Luka Doncic being traded to the Lakers.
The object is reported to be traveling at only 130,000 mph. Fast to us, but glacially slow for interstellar travel. At that speed it your take over 20,000 years to travel from even the closest star.
So that chances of life on board seem pretty slim. And why would an alien civilization send a probe involving tremendous effort if they would have to wait 10’s of thousands of years for any answers?
I’ll guess we’ll see, but I am skeptical regarding alien tech.

These people are desperate for 15 minutes of fame. What a gross speculation based on telescope observation.
Just netsearch “Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb” and Cydonia. The Face On Mars as part of a pyramid complex.
Cydonia was a staple of the Art Bell show. People, “experts” wrote books on Cydonia.
Are we screwed or what!

...🤓 but is Vallee clued in on to this current trajectory or is this information he presents come from one of his publicationsof a long time ago?
What does Dt Loeb think of that?

If could be a box of corn flakes. “Could” could mean anything.
Lol
I remember seeing that episode.
A good read.
This event could be used to serve science, but the “scientists” have taken it over, looking for grant money.
What does this object tell us about the origins of our solar system? On this path, it has likely never been near the Sun before. What light does it shed on the Tunguska blast of 1908?
We’ll never hear real science over this drivel.
Ah, the cosmic version of AI.
I remember all my friends and Mulder from the X-Files show all thought my *hit was alien tech, lol. Boom! Who’s your daddy.
