Avi Loeb Flags New Comet 3I/ATLAS as Potential Alien Threat
World-renowned, and occasionally headline-making, astronomer Avi Loeb is back in the limelight. The Israel-born Harvard scientist urges us to take the mysterious new comet 3I/ATLAS seriously. He warns that the scientific community—and humanity at large—should not ignore its possible extraterrestrial origins or threats. Loeb, famous for his bold theories about interstellar objects, believes 3I/ATLAS deserves more scrutiny than skeptics admit. Honestly, when a Harvard astrophysicist starts talking about alien threats, maybe it’s time to put down the popcorn and pay attention!
In a twist worthy of a sci-fi sitcom, Loeb even invited Kim Kardashian to join his research team. Why? Because the celebrity managed to get a straight answer from NASA’s head about the very same comet, when scientists were met with vague replies. Maybe Loeb figured, if the Kardashians can get answers out of NASA, they can help with aliens too! Whether you think Loeb’s warning is scientific foresight or just another cosmic cliffhanger, one thing’s clear: the universe—and the headlines—are never short on surprises.
Should We Worry?
Loeb has made waves before, suggesting that interstellar objects like ‘Oumuamua could be alien probes. Now, with 3I/ATLAS, he’s doubling down. Perhaps it’s time we all looked up a little more, and scrolled less.
