Atlas 3I

[BK911]

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.

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

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.

From the link,

Note: I am not a planetary scientist so I’m not an expert on these things

Opined by a subordinate. Comparable to a NP stepping on your toes.

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]

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

[BK911]

This doesn't look like a comet. .

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

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...
