NASA's big reveal of the mysterious interstellar object has been slammed as a joke, with many claiming the space agency is covering up what they really know.

The newest images of the visitor, known as 3I/ATLAS, were released by the space agency on Wednesday.

However, the pictures, taken on a rather sophisticated camera on Mars, were largely blurry and showed only a distant dot.

Moreover, NASA refuted any claims that the object, which had made unexpected maneuvers that dumbfounded experts, is anything other than a large space rock.

'What a waste of time! NASA is lying so bad. They are all so scripted. The gaslighting is off the charts,' one person posted on X.

'You have lost all credibility with this blurry hogwash photo. Anyone over there who cares about Earth should dump the entire unedited image archive to Wikileaks,' another social media user wrote.

NASA's HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was expected to provide one of the best images of 3I/ATLAS to date, since it was able to view the object from just 19 million miles away.

However, the image shown on Wednesday was a fuzzy, black-and-white picture that did not have any definition.

Which is consistent with AABt (Advanced Alien Blurring Technology) mentioned before (not that this "visitor" was intelligent aliens).

Thanks!

Looks like NASA failed at killing the conspiracies. The fun lives on.

I really enjoyed this DM article though.

At least when “news” means quoting social media, they did a really good job with the selections. 😃

Wazz s’matter. Can’t the get the JWST focused on it?

The telescope in Mars orbit was designed to photograph the surface of Mars. It was not designed for watching comets. Because the comet orbit took it behind the Sun that was the best that could be done .

IOW, it's a natural object, NASA isn't hiding anything, and what our society needs right now is another Heaven's Gate cult.

Maybe that explains why we keep seeing various "Marshall Plans" being proposed. The truth is out there.

Well, Marshall did make an appearance at post 20, with word that "Your ride awaits you..."

Yet most simply aren't anywhere near prepared to ascend for the higher view -- no concept of the true meaning of 'playtime'.

Ironic as well as iconic:

It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags!

And he puzzled and puzzled 'til his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
