Manufactured from pure nickel, the third interstellar visitor adds more evidence of aliens!
On August 31, a Russian newspaper published an article.
In July 2025, an uninvited "visitor" streaked through the tranquility of the solar system at an astonishing speed of 210,000 kilometers per hour.
This interstellar object was named 3I/ATLAS.
Almost simultaneously, speculation about it being an alien spaceship began to flood in.
Avi Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard University, believes we are facing an alien spaceship,
this scientist also strongly advocated for aliens when he came to Oumuamua.
In remote analysis obtained by telescopes, the content of nickel is extremely high, but there is no iron.
This is absurd for the solar system: meteorites that fall on Earth should contain both metals.
Nickel without iron is a hallmark of industrial production of nickel alloys.
These data form a new anomaly of 3I/ATLAS.
In natural comets, iron and nickel usually exist together,
because these two elements are formed together in the ejecta of supernova explosions.
Astronomers proposed a mechanism model to explain the fate of the iron element,
but Loeb believes this is "very exotic" and cannot be achieved in nature.
All we see is pure nickel, only pure nickel!
The "comet" loses it at a rate of 5 grams per second - just like a spacecraft approaching the sun at high speed losing its fragments.
Loeb also found it surprising that the particles of material evaporated in large quantities from the "comet" do not form a tail:
Is this not protection against the heat of the sun? It's artificial protection.
Therefore, 3I/ATLAS is becoming a mystery on an interstellar scale, possibly the most perplexing mystery of science in the 21st century.
Whether the object is ultimately a comet or an interstellar spaceship, we will face something we cannot understand.
