3I/Atlas Comet?

Seems to be all over FB and plenty of stories out there. So, completely fake, or a possible visitation from another galaxy?

Unlike typical comets:

-No tail
-Light appears to be self generated
-Almost pure nickel with no iron
-Suspiciously accurate path through our solar system
-Absolutely massive and many times larger than a comet should be

The universe just chose a fight with common sense. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has recently restarted a controversy surrounding the enigmatic interstellar body called 3I/ATLAS, refusing to accept the label of "comet." Armed with new high-resolution images, Loeb contends that this object is not what we assume — and, quite possibly, might actually be something much more unusual.

Like most things these days…I vote that the hype is click-bait (fake), but fun to think about until reality rears it’s ugly head.
