"The "alien mothership" is currently travelling towards Earth after going around the Sun and Harvard astrophysicist Professor Avi Loeb has said it appears the object could actually have "thrusters." Astronomer David Jewitt and Jane Luu found the visitor's body said 3I/Atlas is surrounded by a glow and plumes of gases in two directions, one pointing toward the Sun, the other pointing away."
"Technological thrusters which point their exhaust towards the sun would accelerate away from the Sun," the professor Loeb said. This post-perihelion manoeuvre might be employed by a spacecraft that aims to gain speed rather than slow down through the gravitational assist from the Sun. Elon Musk warns 3I/Atlas 'could be alien' and 'kill most of human life' US Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna revealed that some information is being withheld from the public and she has been denied access to government records."
An interstellar object designated 3I/Atlas is approaching Earth after perihelion and exhibits a surrounding glow with gas plumes extending both toward and away from the Sun. Observations note asymmetric outgassing and apparent non-gravitational acceleration that some interpret as directed exhaust or propulsion. A post-perihelion manoeuvre that accelerates away from the Sun would increase speed rather than slow the object. A major space agency has convened an urgent meeting to assess trajectory and potential risk. Public commentary ranges from assertions of withheld government records and extreme hazard scenarios to official statements denying alien origin or immediate threat.
