Atlas 3I
 
You guys up to date on the alien mother ship due to arrive on Earth in November?
Slightly kidding about Alien, but it is being discussed.

Google atlas 3I and select your favorite news source.

"Discovery date 1 July 2025"

Wow :eek:

The Harvard physicist who is making the claim this is an alien spacecraft is suffering from a terminal case of SWS.

“Dr.” Avi Loeb’s case of SWS and it‘s killing those of us who enjoy new scientific discoveries that aren’t turned into reality TV.

SWS or “Sagan Wannanbe Syndrome” affects no name, obscure astronomers and astrophysicists who desperately want the fame, accolades, notoriety, and celebrity status that Dr. Carl Sagan achieved in his life. “Dr” Loeb continuously makes these outlandish claims of aliens and alien technology but time after time gets rebuked and proven wrong by REAL scientists who apply the scientific method.

“Dr” Loeb’s most recent claim that alien technology was found on the bottom of the ocean floor turned out to be industrial waste/runoff created at the start of the industrial revolution. REAL scientists and NASA have concluded the newly discovered object is in fact a comet.

Please go away Loeb, Harvard has enough problems, they don’t need a crackpot dragging their name in the mud any more.

Oh, and if you ever see a photo of Loeb’s office you will notice he has several photographs of himself alone scattered throughout the office. Narcissistic behavior at its best.

. . . did I mention Loeb is selling a book on the same subject?

Sorry “Dr.” Loeb, we’re not buying it.

Be nice to the Jewish PhDs. ^^^


A very distinguished career with a lot of proven hypotheses. Not easy to secure this level of funding either.

Loeb’s peers don’t think too highly of him

Arizona_928 08-18-2025 07:29 PM

I don’t think you realize how difficult it is to secure that level of funding and the level of proven hypotheses. Quack or not, it’s impressive.

I did work full time at USC for ten years and am well aware of the nuances of securing funding for academic research. . .

Regardless, 3I/Atlas will be definitely proven to be a comet and Loeb will once again have his outlandish claim proven wrong.

Time will tell

Arizona_928 08-18-2025 07:52 PM

Very true. It might even turn out like the film “don’t look up”.

I’ll send you a pm in November when the new overlords arrive ! lols

This doesn't look like a comet. :D.

Wikipedia had a great write up on this. Thanks for the heads up. This is cool. The addition of wacko theories is even better.

fanaudical 08-19-2025 07:18 PM

That is a great wiki write-up - thanks for sharing that.

This is very interesting. It will be even more interesting if it stops and stays a while...

So just for entertainment purposes... my new sci-fi story
This interstellar objects timing with other conspiracy theory topics is fascinating.

Nibiru - Home of the annunaki
9th planet in elliptical orbit which passes ~close to earth every 3600 years.
Close enough to cause failt lines to become active and impact the earth's magnetic field.
Maybe close enough for travel between here and there?

Fault lines are active.
EMF going crazy.
3I Atlas

Crazy, ehh?
So.....
What if? :D

Invest in Allcan, Reynolds, and other manufacturers of tin foil now. Rumour on the street is that there’s going to be a run on tin foil hats of Covid Toilet Paper proportions… SmileWavy

Ari Loeb was at one time a pretty good astronomer, I've meet him (20+ years ago). He was a go getter and did good work.

Now, he's a gadfly with tenure. He doesn't believe any of this, but he knows that random people on random car forums will talk about him. Good going guys, you are doing a great job of massaging his ego.

BK911 09-12-2025 03:57 AM

Calm down guys, this is for entertainment purposes only.
I ask again.....

What if? :D

onewhippedpuppy 09-12-2025 04:28 AM

I immediately get skeptical of anyone making claims who is also interested in profiting off same claims. Guess we’ll find out in November!

130,000 mph is impressive.
How did it get going so fast?

dad911 09-12-2025 08:41 AM

Scientology redux?

Didn't L. Ron Hubbard talk of a mothership?
