Something Is NOT RIGHT About This Interstellar Object

Show Transcript

Cristina Gomez: You may have heard about the object resembling Oumuamua entering our solar system at about 137,000 miles per hour. It's a massive object about the size of Manhattan. NASA says it's a comet, but Harvard's top astrophysicist says it could be an alien spacecraft, and he's terrified of what that means.

The object is called 3i/Atlas, and its trajectory is so impossibly precise that the chances of it being natural are less, according to Avi Loeb, .005%. It's heading straight for our inner planets with surgical precision. So is it really a comet or a spacecraft?

Hey, UFOlogers, I'm Cristina Gomez, and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates.

Professor Avi Loeb and his team say the interstellar object is on an extremely unusual course for a comet that will take it close to Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. Researchers also believe that the chance of a space rock flying in this path is less than five one thousandths of a percent. Loeb also says that object appears to be being, quote, intelligently directed, and if it is alien, the world should prepare.

And you might ask yourself, is it a coincidence the amount of UFO news that has been circulating lately? Is this object a partial reason for that? This isn't the first sign someone's been watching us. Astronomers have been quietly documenting impossible objects in our skies for years.

Dr. Beatrice Villarroel from the VASCO Project (Clip from Demystify Sci-Fi Podcast): So in the green circles, you actually see nine beautiful stars with typical brightness profiles similar to all the other stars. And they're there hearing this image on the 12th of April 1950. Then they are no longer there, they vanish. And they are not there half an hour earlier either, and they're not there six days later nor 30 years later. And that became quite a mystery because there's no way you can do that in the 1950s with just some astrophysical phenomena. There's no way how we can get that.

Cristina Gomez: Nine objects appeared and vanished simultaneously in the 1950s, seven years before humans launched our first satellite. The night sky was completely pristine, yet something created multiple flashes of light that defied all known physics. And she has now documented nearly 800 objects that have simply vanished from our skies. Not exploded as supernovas, not faded gradually, just gone.

Dr. Beatrice Villarroel (clip): What we found were a lot of candidates, but when we have been inspecting them more, it turns out that you see something that looks like a star in an old image and then you never see it again.

Cristina Gomez: The 3i/Atlas isn't just an interstellar visitor. Loeb also says that object appears to be being, quote, intelligently directed, and if it is alien, the world should prepare. The object's path gives it perfect access to study our major planets while making it nearly impossible for us to intercept or even properly observe it. Its retrograde tilt creates what military strategists would call a tactical advantage.

And you know what's really cool? Is that there is a live cam pointed at the object streamed by WorldCam. I will place that link in my article on my website at ufonews.co. I do write articles for all of the shows that take place right here, and all the sources are attached to them.

If this is an alien probe, it's following a playbook we kind of already understand. We're humans, we can send something similar to Voyager 1.

Avi Loeb (clip): Very far away. We can send it from very, very far away outside our solar system. Now, imagine another civilization might be able to do the same thing, and they might send thousands or millions of probes to explore other stars and their planets. And I think it would be really, really good to search for these objects.

Cristina Gomez: We've sent Voyager to study other solar systems. An advanced civilization could send millions of such probes, each one as a scout, gathering intelligence, reporting back, and so forth.

But here's where this story gets really interesting. There's a theory called the Dark Forest Hypothesis that explains not just why the universe seems empty, but why finding an alien probe might be the worst possible news for humanity. At least according to Chinese author Liu Cixin, and rests on 2 undeniable facts. First, every civilization's primary goal is survival. Second, resources in the universe are finite, but civilizations constantly expand.

This creates what scientists call a chain of suspicion. When two civilizations meet, neither can know if the other is friendly or hostile. If they both want peace, each must consider that the other might attack first out of fear, but there's a third factor that makes everything worse. Technological explosion. A civilization that seems harmless today could become a galactic empire tomorrow. Look at humanity. We went from first flight to nuclear weapons in just 40 years.

So the logical conclusion becomes inescapable. The safest strategy is always to eliminate any civilization you discover before they can become a threat. And as the Chinese author writes, The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost. If they find other life, there's only one thing he can do: open fire and eliminate them. At least that seems kind of like the more human mentality.

But for over a century, humanity has been broadcasting our existence to the galaxy. Every radio transmission, every TV show, every radar pulse has been screaming to the universe, hey, we're here, we have technology, we're rapidly advancing, come and visit. And these signals have reached thousands of star systems.

If the dark forest theory is correct, any civilization that detected them had two choices: ignore us and risk us becoming a threat, or eliminate us while we're still primitive. But elimination requires reconnaissance. They'd need to study our capabilities, our military technology, and our population centers. They need to send scouts, right?

And the timing here is perfect. Our first powerful broadcast reached nearby stars in the 40s and 50s. If an alien civilization immediately dispatched probes, they'd be arriving about right now if they were traveling at a decent speed in a fashion, but also perfect timing with all the latest UFO news that's been going on lately. Is it by design?

And they'd want to observe us during our most vulnerable moments when we can't track them, can't intercept them, can't fight back.

Avi Loeb (clip): I think that when we have a blind date from a visitor from another star, all bets are off. We shouldn't assume anything. And we should assess the risk, given the data that we have.

Cristina Gomez: As this gets closer, this will determine if we're looking at humanity's first confirmed alien contact, or if it's just a casual asteroid, or a fake invasion. Only time and the trajectory speed will tell.

If this object is artificial, it will represent a level of technology that could cross interstellar space in decades rather than millennia. A civilization that advanced doesn't send probes for friendship exchanges. Well, maybe they do, but probably not. Instead, they send them for intelligence gathering.

The object's size, potentially 20 kilometers across, isn't just impressive, it's strategic, large enough to carry extensive sensor equipment, communication arrays, and possibly smaller craft for detailed planetary surveys, or even weapons.

Avi Loeb has proposed using the James Webb Space Telescope to study this interstellar object for signs of artificial propulsion or non-gravitational acceleration. But even if we confirm it's artificial, then what? There is no international protocol for responding to alien threats, no unified command structure, no plan, at least that the public knows of.

But is this where the mysterious Space Force created back in 2019 should come in for this? What do you think the 3i/Atlas really is? And are we witnessing first contact or just a regular comet? Let me know in the comments below. That is it for today. I will see you next time. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
