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.

I’m always light-hearted about this kind of stuff, don’t get worked up. The truth will win out eventually.

As long as people are having good-natured fun and not trying to bully others into submission about their pet conspiracies, I don’t mind. They can HAARP right on.

Besides, I don’t know enough (or really anything) from the scientific realms for to draw correct conclusions, so I just keep watch with an open mind, no desire to sign up for one camp or another.

Same with a lot of things. Life is too short to double down on “certain” truths, or to freak out.

And sometimes, blind squirrels stumble upon acorns and peanuts, and broken clocks get to be right!

If only they’d have listened to him, he knew the best way to go.
