US scientists speculate that 3I/ATLAS is an alien spaceship!
Russian scientists said his conclusion was wrong, and he always makes radical statements to attract attention.
Professor Avi Leib, an astrophysicist from Harvard University in the United States, said:
The comet 3I/ATLAS discovered in July may be a huge alien spacecraft.
Scientists pointed out that the orbit of 3I/ATLAS is very unusual. When it approached Venus, Mars, and Jupiter,
it seemed to be intentionally trying to perform gravitational slingshots during its flight.
However, on August 2, TASS published an article.
Natan Esmont, a visiting scientist at the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said:
The assessment by American scientist Avi Leib is incorrect.
He said there is currently no reason to believe that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS discovered in July is an alien spacecraft.
The American scientist Avi Leib, who proposed this theory, has never been correct before, and he previously provided such assessments.
"Avi Leib is known for his radical assessments before — no matter what object is flying, he will talk about aliens."
Esmont said.
According to this scientist, nothing in the movement of the object cannot be explained by the laws of orbital mechanics.
If this object came from outside, then it becoming a retrograde motion is no problem — this does not violate any law.
3I/Atlas is an interstellar object observed by astronomers crossing the solar system,
and it is the third interstellar visitor discovered by humans as of 2025.
It is expected to pass Earth on December 7th, and finally pass through the entire solar system at a speed of more than 65.98 kilometers per second.
