3I/ATLAS alien spaceship idea ‘confirmed’ as newest picture of ‘thrusters’ shared
Harvard boffin Avi Loeb pointed out the ‘multiple jets’ trailing the mysterious space lump as further evidence proving his theory that 3I/ATLAS is in fact an alien spaceship
The theory a giant space rock that is hurtling towards Earth is actually a alien spaceship has been backed up by further evidence, according to the Harvard Professor who initiated the idea.
The 3I/ATLAS comment was pictured from New Mexico, USA by Satoru Murata yesterday morning. He wrote on Facebook: “I captured the interstellar comet early this morning as a thin crescent moon passed immediately next to it.
“The comet was also passing by the galaxy NGC4691, which really gave the impression of the object being from another world.”
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb pointed out the “multiple jets” trailing the mysterious space lump. “Image shows multiple jets both towards and away from the Sun, including an anti-tail and a much longer tightly collimated tail,” the boffin wrote.
In an earlier blog post, Mr Loeb said the “tails” were caused by “technological thrusters”. He wrote: “There is the more speculative possibility that the anti-tail is a result of technological thrusters, which accelerate 3I/ATLAS away from the Sun through tightly collimated jets that penetrate a million kilometers through the Solar wind because of their high speed.”
It comes as 3I/ATLAS is set to make its closest approach to Earth next month. This much anticipated arrival will finally enable experts to unveil what the mysterious interstellar object is, according to Mr Loeb.
According to Harvard professor Avi Loeb, scientists are still gathering clues about 3I/ATLAS. But with the mysterious object swinging past Earth in December, we will finally find out what this strange comet really is, the professor said, as he has continuously suggested 3I/ATLAS is an alien spacecraft.
Taking to his Medium Blog on Sunday (November 11), Professor Loeb shared the exact date 3I/ATLAS would hit our planet.
He wrote: “Figuring things out through the collection of data resembles the work of a detective. With the flood of data on 3I/ATLAS in the coming weeks — leading to its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025, we should be able to figure out its nature.”
New images show that 3I/ATLAS has a bizarre “anti-tail” alongside its normal tails, and experts still don’t know what’s causing it, the Harvard scholar argued in his most recent post. Moreover, Professor Loeb explained it could be down to giant dust particles, icy fragments, or even high-tech thrusters.
