3i/ATLAS General

Apperantly they are saying now that the 3i/atlas might not be a comet after all but a Stable, Engine-Powered Object

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/esa-insider-shocks-space-community-3i-atlas-not-comet-stable-engine-powered-object-leak-1749266

The core of the whistleblower's claim centres on a discovery made by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (GST). They allege that the telescope detected a highly unusual signature coming from 3I/ATLAS.
This technical description suggests the signal is not a natural phenomenon, like the radio waves emitted by a pulsar, but something artificial and constant.

NASA still hasn't released the HiRise imagery of the object, which is the highest resolution imagery we, as a planet, have taken. Good enough resolution to discern if it's got natural or unnatural geometry, and NASA has been sitting on it for 19 days now.

The next time somebody cites Avi Loeb as an authority on anything alien-related, I'm gonna lose my damn mind. Every year, this attention-seeking ♥♥♥♥♥♥ comes up with something new to call an alien craft. First it's Oumuamua, then it's that so-called Dyson sphere, now it's 3I/ATLAS.

The result is that when scientists find something actually indicative of life, like those sediment structures on Mars, no one gives a ♥♥♥♥.

Anyway, don't listen to that idiot. When some real scientists publish proof of it not being a natural object, then get excited.

Agreed
He is the entity that puts me more unconfortable for obvious reasons
But still he has more pull on the field than a steam "literally who" like you or me

I have a VR6 Atlas.

Wish it was aliens, at least something exiting instead of this slow steady decline into despotism and extinction.

nothing there without rare metals and our engine

It's literally a colony of space Yetis coming back to rescue their comrades they left behind in the 70's.

If it was Aliens it wouldn't be falling apart as it enters the solar system.

Unless they want us to think that this is just a comet, a disguise.

Avi Loeb never said anything was definitively aliens. The way I see it, he is doing his job as a scientist, just looking at data. There is real data strongly suggesting a non-human intelligence is already here and mainstream science is ignoring it. I actually believe they are covering it up.

"Mainstream science is covering it up" is the excuse we always dredge up when the data doesn't align with what we want to believe. There is literally zero reason for scientists who are already strapped for funding to cover up evidence of alien life. None whatsoever.

Avi Loeb is always running with the most exciting and unlikely explanation because he realized science doesn't grant you money or fame, but media appearances do. He's a complete fraud.
