The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, measuring 12 miles (20km) long, has traveled from another star and is currently heading toward the inner solar system at 135,000 miles per hour. Notably, Professor Avi Loeb posits that its size makes it unlikely to be a natural object, suggesting it may be an alien spacecraft. The object was first detected by NASA's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System on July 1 and will reach its closest point to the sun on October 30, estimated to be 130 million miles away.
Professor Loeb asserts that 3I/ATLAS could be an alien spacecraft, emphasizing its size and speed, which make natural origins highly improbable. 'It is difficult to imagine a natural process that would favour a plunge towards the inner solar system at 60 kilometres per second.' A technological design could explain its trajectory.'
3I/ATLAS, spotted on July 1, is the third detected interstellar object in our solar system, exhibiting an elliptical orbit and travelling at 135,000 miles per hour.
