Fake reports are claiming that an alien spacecraft has entered our solar system.

A Comet from another Solar system has given rise to reports that it is actually an alien spacecraft.

Comet – named 3I/atlas – It was discovered this summer and caused excitement because it appears to be an interstellar comet that came to us from another solar system. It is only the third visitor of its kind, and this time scientists have been able to track its journey and study its characteristics in particularly detailed detail.

But some have suggested that tracking suggests the comet is actually of artificial origin. spaceship From alien life in another solar system. Professor Avi Loeb of Harvard University has claimed that the comet is moving in a way that suggests it may be performing maneuvers as it flies around the solar system.

Professor Loeb has made similar claims about other objects in the past, including the first interstellar comet ‘Oumuamua, discovered in 2017. This time, he echoed a colleague’s suggestion that the change in object might be because it is a spacecraft that is slowing down with the intention of finding an orbit between Mars and Jupiter.

Most speculation has focused on the comet’s “anti-tail”, which as the name suggests has a tail that points in the direction the comet is traveling rather than behind it. This is unusual but not unheard of, and scientists hope that studying the phenomenon can help us better understand such comets.

Professor Loeb did not directly make claims about alien spacecraft, only suggesting that it was possible, and he provided no further evidence to support them. Nonetheless, several reports have exaggerated his claims that the Atlas comet may actually be a spacecraft sent from another world, causing dismay among other scientists.

Mark Norris, senior lecturer in astronomy at the University of Lancashire, said, “Despite claims that 3I/ATLAS may be an alien spacecraft, a growing body of observations suggests that it is a natural comet, not a probe from a distant corner of the galaxy.” He said that Atlas had some strange features but did not prove that it was artificial.

“To be clear – given the information recently put online – Comet 3I/Atlas is a comet, made of bits of carbon dioxide and water ice and other things,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “It is basically completely natural, its orbit is predictable and it will revolve around the Sun and then disappear into the Milky Way.

“If it ever encounters another inhabited solar system in the distant future, I hope the things living there will be smarter than us and enjoy what they are – a visitor from elsewhere in the galaxy – an ancient lump of rock and ice that formed billions of years ago and many light years away around a distant, probably long-dead star, just passing by. Isn’t that quite wonderful?”
