Rare interstellar object the size of Manhattan could be an alien probe: Harvard scientists

The paper presented several anomalous characteristics of the object, which could indicate that it is not a comet at all but instead a directed craft.

I wonder who paid for this "study" since Harrrrvard is involved?

A mysterious intergalactic object could potentially be a “hostile” alien spacecraft that’s slated to attack our planet in November, according to a controversial new study by a small group of scientists.

“The consequences, should the hypothesis turn out to be correct, could potentially be dire for humanity,” the researchers wrote in the inflammatory paper, which was published July 16 to the preprint server arXiv, South West News Service reported.

One of the researchers, Avi Loeb — a prominent Harvard astrophysicist known for linking extraterrestrial objects to alien life — previously made waves after floating the theory that 2017 interstellar object ʻOumuamua could be an artificial recon probe sent by an alien civilization, based on its odd shape and acceleration.

Oooh scary. Global warming didn't work, so if they want to give the entire world a common enemy it needs to be aliens.....Or Trump.

Bring it on, interplanetary scumbags. I've seen enough movies to know that aliens can bleed too.

It's because Iran is 2 weeks away from having a nuke!

They said they've already got one.

yes! Scientists are your enemy! Go live in the woods with a pot and a candle.

Did the aliens tell you that?

Sounds like the French Knights in Monty Python

I doubt this has anything to do with politics. Just a bunch of goofball conspiracy wonks desperately seeking their 15 min. of fame.

Again, show some respect. This theory comes from a professor at Harvard.

That “paper” must offer something actually professional for a Harvard professor to advance such a theory. Data. Calculations. Charts. The whole shebang.

I enjoy this excerpt of the abstract:

As largely a pedagogical exercise, in this paper we present additional analysis into the astrodynamics of 3I/ATLAS, and hypothesize that this object could be technological, and possibly hostile as would be expected from the ’Dark Forest’ resolution to the ’Fermi Paradox’.

From the link in the OP. (All italicized words and bolding are mine.)

Abraham Loeb appears to be an actual Harvard Professor. So, I’m hoping this piece of his isn’t the rule for how he works.​
