Is 3I/ATLAS a Comet or Something Else?
First a lil background/history etc.
During all the Iran bombing etc honey came out on the porch and said something about an "interstellar visitor" and asked if I knew anything about it. I said I had seen the headline but hadn't read anything yet, then later on, while there is a pause in the hostilities, (a few days ago) I got around to reading about it.
Just reading the very first article about it
some things jumped out at me:
1) How bright it is
2) How bright it is
in relation to how far away it is.
3) Estimated size
(Huge)
4) It's Speed
5) It's Trajectory
(Where it is headed
)
6) Where it originated from
Just based on those factors alone?
My conclusion was:
"This can not be good."
All of that?
Was prior
to revisiting the Missler Presentation
about the Mars near miss hypothesis
(Funny nobody is talking about that right now
I wonder why?)
Before I ever went back and revisited that?
I was wondering:
What does
"controversial Harvard
cosmologist/astronomer"
think about this thing?
Because if there was anybody
that was going to
go out on a limb,
and tell you
something that others
in those fields of study wouldn't?
It would be him.

(I love Avi, I think he is great and not afraid to go out on a limb and tell people emphatically and for a long time now that these things are just not natural in origin. They go with they are Alien(s), I go with they are supernatural.)
(You can find every time Avi was mentioned
on this blog by clicking here
Just do Ctrl F
and search the page for his name.)
So anyway,
I was wondering what he had to say about it.
Then I saw:
Still, the Only headline I have seen to date
to even purpose it could be something
other than a comet
and its author?
None other than
"Avi Loeb
"Because if there was anybody
that was going to
go out on a limb, and tell you
something that others
in those fields of study wouldn't?
It would be him."
I thought awesome!
Lets get to what he has to say about it.
Tried to go to the article multiple times on my phone
and it wouldn't let me,
it wanted an email, or open an account
or pay, or wouldn't load etc.
So I took a screen shot and thought
Ill try again later on the computer instead of the phone
and see if I cant find the article.
So yesterday I did.
And I wasnt really surprised with what was said.
And? Just a lil warning? Some of it may be a lil more technical than what you may be used to reading. But I wasnt surprised with what Avi had to say about it.
That was yesterday. I was going to try to get around to doing a piece on it then, but I ended up doing all the other pieces I did yesterday, and, well? I only got so much gas in the tank so to speak and by the time I was done with
Thursday, July 10, 2025
I was pretty well spent.
So?
Without further ado?
Here is what Avi Loeb has to say about
3I/ATLAS.
"The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1, 2025 to be moving at a speed of about 60 kilometers per second (134,216 MPH) towards the inner Solar system."
"The Minor Planet Center labeled it a comet, based on preliminary reports about hints of cometary activity. Stacked images show a limited fuzz around the object but it is difficult to tell whether the elongation of the fuzz results in part from smearing of the image as a result of the motion of the object. The elongation is along the direction of motion with a spatial extent comparable to the product of the object’s speed of 60 kilometers per second times the cumulative exposure time which is typically hundreds of seconds. The total brightness of 3I/ATLAS remained nearly constant over a period of a few days, suggesting that either the object is hidden beyond the veil of dust or it is nearly spherical if its rotation period is shorter than that.
(Okay so if its a comet?
It should be getting
LESS BRIGHT
over time
not
staying the same
as its ice melts away.
So I would go with:
"the object is hidden
beyond the veil of dust")
"Today, the first spectroscopic data on 3I/ATLAS was shared publicly in a new preprint by Cyrielle Opitom and collaborators.
(If you weld?
Then you know that different materials
will give off different colors
when they are heated up/welded together etc
Same exact thing here
only the colors given off
are examined by extremely sensitive instruments,
this is how we know what things are composed of in space.)
"Such data offers a unique opportunity to study the cometary activity and composition of 3I/ATLAS, which may only get more prominent as the object is heated along its path to closest approach from the Sun (perihelion), expected to occur on October 29, 2025."
"The reported observations were conducted on July 3, 2025, using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectrograph on the European Very Large Telescope (VLT), when 3I/ATLAS was at a distance of 4.47 times the Earth-Sun separation (au) from the Sun and 3.46 au from the Earth. The data reveal a red coma with a spectral slope indicating *extreme reddening of reflected sunlight, redder than most Solar System comets but similar to the surface color of some Trans-Neptunian Objects or Centaurs in the outer Solar system."
("Centaurs are minor planets
with characteristics of comets,
and often classified as such.)
"Opitom’s team searched for the spectral fingerprints of gas emission from various molecules, such as C_2, NH_2, CN, as well as neutral oxygen atoms, but did not detect any.
(Opps, not like you are seeing that
in your news feed headlines
regarding this thing.)
"The limit they set on the gas content is consistent with the non-detection of volatiles for Solar System comets at the same distance from the Sun. At present, the limited cometary fuzz appears to be entirely dusty."
("Entirely Dusty", meaning,
not from Ice melting
as would be in a comet.)
"Kuiper belt objects within the outer Solar system are reddened when organics on their icy surface are exposed to ultraviolet light or cosmic rays for billions of years. This is caused by so-called Tholins (after the Greek tholós which means “muddy”), a wide variety of organic compounds formed by Solar ultraviolet or cosmic ray irradiation of simple carbon-containing compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO_2), methane (CH_4) or ethane (C_2H_6), often in combination with nitrogen (N_2) or water (H_2O)."
"There could be some undetectable gas in between the solid nucleus of 3I/ATLAS and the dust surrounding it. Only a small fraction of the surface of comets is typically observed to be active. The surface of 3I/ATLAS could be predominantly a non-evaporating crust that provides thermal insulation and blocks the heat transfer and sublimation of volatile ices under it. The brightness of the object implies a reflecting surface that is about 20 kilometers in diameter, assuming a typical asteroid albedo (the fraction of light that a surface reflects) of 5%. The estimated diamter scales inversely with the square root of the assumed albedo value."
"Future observations of 3I/ATLAS as it comes closer to the Sun will provide a key opportunity to witness the evolution of its activity,
(What if there isnt any?
And it is a solid (rocky) object
and not ice?)
"...infer the size of its solid nucleus, study its composition, test predictions for the abundance and velocity dispersion of its population, and compare 3I/ATLAS to Solar System comets."
The fundamental question is:
whether 3I/ATLAS is a comet
with a kilometer-scale nucleus
(20 km that is,
and those type objects?
Kinda rare
from my limited understanding)
"or
a solid object
that is 20 kilometers in diameter
which shows very limited evaporation?"
(Seeing as how the whole world
has already been convinced
that this thing is a comet?
"The Minor Planet Center labeled it a comet,
based on
preliminary reports
about hints of
cometary activity."
Im gonna go with it's:
"a solid object
that is 20 kilometers in diameter
which shows very limited evaporation"
and it will either:
1) Affect Mars Orbit.
(Which will affect us.)
OR?
2) Be torn apart into smaller fragments
as it passes by Mars
(Which will affect us.)
OR?
3) Both 1 and 2 listed above.)
"In the latter case,
the large size
of 3I/ATLAS is puzzling.
"In a new paper,
I showed that interstellar objects
(Between suns)
with that radius
would amount to
an interstellar mass density
that is well above
the expected mass budget
of interstellar comets or asteroids.
(So basically if it is:
"a solid object
that is 20 kilometers in diameter
which shows very limited evaporation"
It should not exist.
(See initial comments above about:
"Just based on those (6) factors alone?
My conclusion was:
"This cant be good.")
"Given this budget, the detection rate of objects like 3I/ATLAS implies that it is a comet with a small core diameter below 1.2 kilometers, or a member of a rare population with a number density. Both of these possibilities ease the tension of not detecting many more interstellar objects with smaller radii than 3I/ATLAS,
as sub-km objects are expected to be much more numerous than 20 km objects based on their statistics in the solar system."
"The second possibility would suggest
(The second possibility
=
the one im going with:
"a solid object
that is 20 kilometers in diameter
which shows very limited evaporation")
"that the rare population of 3I/ATLAS objects
favors plunging orbits
towards the inner solar system
to accommodate their inferred detection rate."
"If future spectroscopic data
from state-of-the-art ground-based
or space-based telescopes
-like the Webb or Hubble
space telescopes, will
demonstrate that 3I/ATLAS has a solid core
with a diameter of order 20 kilometers or more,
then the limited interstellar reservoir of rocky materials
(It shouldn't fucking exist!)
"would suggest that its trajectory favored a plunging orbit towards the inner Solar system,
perhaps by technological design.
To paraphrase Forrest Gump: “Science is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get."
(Simply Replace:
"technological design"
with
"intelligent design"
and the guy nailed it.
We have had this very issue before with
If 3I/ATLAS is as old as scientist think it is?
(Older than our solar system.)
Then what is the likelihood
it's ice
(not necessarily just frozen water)
hasn't already melted?
It's a serious issue yo.

(You may have to search
the blog for Avi Loeb
in order to find it, AI interference etc.)
"Following this original proposal, I (AVI) wrote a paper with Thiem Hoang, showing that heating by interstellar starlight would quickly destroy pure hydrogen layers, not allowing them to reach the solar system as `Oumuamua did.'"
(I mean...do you really have to be a Harvard astronomer to figure out:
If this thing (Oumuamua) had been in space
as long as the people who were studding it say it has been?
Then all the "outgassing"
would have already occurred
long before it got here?)
It is the same exact thing this time around.
And Avi my brother?
If you would just point things
toward the uncreated creator?
Instead of
"ancient advanced
technological civilizations"
all the time?
You would be doing the world
a lot more good.
3I/ATLAS
"perhaps by technological design"
Oumuamua
"Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb...
His 2021 book Extraterrestrial
suggests the possibility that
‘Oumuamua might be an alien spacecraft."
"The first interstellar meteor ever discovered."
(Avi discovered it BTW)
Harvard physicist plans expedition to find
‘alien artefact’ that fell from space
"According to Loeb, it is possible that the meteor is tough “because they are artificial in origin … launched a billion years ago from a distant technological civilization.”
Saturday, April 15, 2023
"In a draft paper dated March 7, Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, and Harvard professor Avi Loeb teamed up to write that the objects, which appear to defy all physics, could be “probes” from an extraterrestrial “parent craft.”

SOCIETAL PREIST OF THE CULTURE
"You can imagine that the superhuman civilization that understands how to unify quantum mechanics and gravity might actually be able to create a baby universe in the laboratory," he told the news outlet, "a quality that we assign to God in religious texts."
(Avi?
Dude?
It wasnt a committee
or committees that came up with
(Or the initial conditions of it
or the laws of nature
that had to exist prior to its creation etc)
no matter how much
one wants to:
"Imagine it."
And
BTW?
Who created their universe then?)
Guy is on the right path.
More so than a lot of others.
He is just drawing
the wrong conclusions:
And BTW?
Here is what
I
can imagine
