1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,280 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,440 In this episode we're talking about 3-1 Atlas. 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,760 That's correct, 31 Atlas. Now some people are even calling 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,520 this saying AT1 Atlas. It's what I thought was a 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,320 comment, but apparently they were saying this is an 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,760 interstellar space object. I went to ChatGPT to kind of 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,560 find a little bit more about it because I've gotten some 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,320 comments and questions about it and people are interested in it. 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,480 At first I thought, well, maybe just kind of another ho hum 10 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,800 story, you know, space junk headed toward Earth or comet 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,440 headed toward Earth. I know that near miss. 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,520 They never seem to tell us about it until the last minute. 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,480 And honestly, I wasn't that excited about it because I 14 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,320 thought, well, you know, what's all the hype about? 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,800 But the more I hear about this thing, the more strange it seems 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,480 honestly. So I asked ChatGPT to give me a 17 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280 little bit of background on it and it did have some 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,640 information. Not as much as I thought it 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,760 would. It says what is 3/1 Atlas? 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Interstellar Origin is currently classified as an interstellar 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,040 object, meaning it is passing through our solar system, but 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,480 it's not bound to it. Almost seems counterintuitive if 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,160 you think if it wasn't, if it wasn't bound to our stellar 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,920 system, it'd be outer stellar. But anyway, yeah, like it's just 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,400 heading through our solar system. 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,800 Apparently discovery it was detected by the Atlas or that's 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,360 the asteroid terrestrial impact last alert system. 28 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,240 Yeah, we definitely are the last to know, that's for sure. 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,480 Telescope on July 1st, 2025. So they've only known about this 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,600 thing for a few months. Trajectory. 31 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,880 It says its trajectory is hyperbolic, not closed, which 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,400 indicates it is passing through. Well, I guess that's good if 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,160 it's not going to circle back around and smash into US. 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,800 Speed is moving at a high velocity, among the fastest 35 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,480 interstellar visitors recorded. That's that's interesting size 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,720 estimates. Some observations place an upper 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,160 bound on a size at around 3 1/2 miles in diameter, although it 38 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,880 could be smaller now, 3 1/2 miles around, that's big enough 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,880 that, yeah, it's going to be historically significant. 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,000 I think if it hits Earth, it says, is it on a collision 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,880 course with Earth? No. 42 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,800 According to all current available data, 31 Atlas is not 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,640 a threat to Earth. Here's why. 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,800 The closest approach it is expected to make to Earth is 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,640 still about 150 million miles safely distance. 46 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,720 Now, I think the sun's, what, just under 100 miles away. 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080 So yeah, still got a pretty good, pretty good distance 48 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,920 there. Space agencies, including NASA, 49 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,920 have publicly stated that it poses no danger to Earth. 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,840 Well, for whatever their words are worth. 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,400 I mean, are they going to tell you really? 52 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,400 If it does, its path is more toward the sun, IE toward 53 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,120 Perlian not aiming at Earth. Now that would be cool. 54 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,120 It would be interesting to see if they say maybe it didn't 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120 smash into the sun. Wouldn't think that'd be that 56 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760 big of a deal really. Speculation, hypothesis, and 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,840 controversy. While the mainstream scientific 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,160 consensus is that 31 Atlas is a natural comet like object, there 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,040 has been speculation, mostly fringe or provocative, that it 60 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,440 could be artificial EI form of spacecraft probe. 61 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,560 While the mainstream scientific consensus is that 31 Atlas is a 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,040 natural comet like object, there has been speculation, mostly 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240 fringe or provocative. Or they got to get that 64 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,400 qualifier in there. Don't think that it could be 65 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,760 artificial such as a form of a spacecraft or probe. 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,440 These ideas are controversial and not widely accepted. 67 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,520 You know I would say stick to the facts. 68 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,000 Cheat ChatGPT. And then it mentions Avi Loeb's 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080 proposal. Avi Loeb, Harvard, we've talked 70 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,720 about Avia on this program many times. 71 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,240 Remember he went down to what Papa Noguini with Charles 72 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Hoskinson, Farmer Cardano, who I think him and maybe one of the 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,000 guy who funded that thing, or maybe Charles funded the whole 74 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,040 thing himself, went down there and they found they, they drug 75 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,600 up those little beads from that interstellar object that had, 76 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240 yeah, from another solar system all together that crashed down 77 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,480 there years and years ago. And they're still researching 78 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,959 that pretty well stuff. Avulobe's proposal. 79 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,120 Avulobe has entertained the possibility that 31 Atlas might 80 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,520 be an engineered object and his views, some of its anomalous 81 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,320 features and trajectory might hint at a technological 82 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,800 artefact. Now they got that article from 83 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,160 the Guardian and we'll take a look at that here in just a bit, 84 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,680 in just a minute. Just so you know, it goes on and 85 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,440 says criticism and rebuttal. NASA and many planetary 86 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,440 scientists reject the artificial hypothesis. 87 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,680 They argue that 31 Atlas look behaves like a comet outgassing 88 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,400 dust trajectory responses and matches expectations of an 89 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,760 interstellar object with peculiarities but not 90 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,200 necessarily intelligent design. And then it says potential dark 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,080 force scenario. In his speculative framing, Loeb 92 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,680 discusses a hypothetical dark force scenario from a well known 93 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,800 idea in science fiction, astrobiology, the notion that 94 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,760 advanced civilizations might preemptively neutralize others. 95 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,040 He suggests that 31 Atlas could possibly perform cloaked 96 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200 maneuvers, but these are speculative thought experiments, 97 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,000 not established fact. Yeah, they can't seem to want to 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,640 wait for us to get around to destroying ourselves. 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,400 Apparently missing gas signature. 100 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040 One point Loeben supporters mentioned is that 31 Atlas has 101 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,240 so far not exhibited strong signs of gas out gassing like 102 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,360 many comics do. That absence is used as one 103 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,200 anomaly to entertain the artificial hypothesis, and 104 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,360 pretty much you would expect to have a tail if it's a comment. 105 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000 Skeptical counterpoint says that others point out that comets in 106 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,200 small bodies can be unpredictable but observational 107 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,600 limits may hide weak outgassing, and that the unusual features 108 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,440 may still be within the realm of natural objects such as typical 109 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,040 compositions or shapes. Man, that's some wild stuff. 110 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,080 Really, really strange stuff. I got this article here from 111 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,840 September 25th. Let's take a look at it real 112 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,360 quick. This is from the Guardian. 113 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,160 It says the interstellar hype over NASA debunks claim about 114 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,880 alien made comment. NASA dismissed this theory by 115 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,600 Harvard astronomers who suggest an object from beyond the solar 116 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,600 system could be a relic from distant civilization. 117 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,000 I mean, really, do they even need to respond to this stuff? 118 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,960 I don't know. Yeah. 119 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,400 It's got an image of this thing here. 120 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,120 Very strange. An image captured by Hubble of 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,600 the Interstellar Comets 31 Atlas on July 21st, 2025, when the 122 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,960 comet was 277 million miles from Earth. 123 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,240 So definitely headed this way. It says sky watchers at NASA 124 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,120 have discounted a Harvard astronomer's hypothesis that a 125 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,200 rare interstellar object hurling through our solar system is a 126 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,720 relic from a civilization in another celestial neighborhood 127 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,120 and could potentially be dire for humanity. 128 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,880 And as it says, Avi Loeb, head of Harvard University's Galileo 129 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,480 Project, which searches for evidence of extraterrestrial 130 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,640 intelligence, raised eyebrows by suggesting in a scientific paper 131 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:30,480 in July that comet 31 Atlas looks like they've got here 132 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,440 three eye Atlas set for a close pass with Mars next month could 133 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,040 be artificially made. It is only the third known 134 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,720 object originating outside the solar system to pass it through 135 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,960 and was named for the asteroid Terrestrial Impact Blast Alert 136 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,400 System survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile that discovered 137 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,280 it on July 1st. Loeb says the observations of 138 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,920 the object so far have not revealed gaseous tails or dust 139 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,840 and plasma comment to comets originating inside the solar 140 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,000 system and have shown it following an unorthodox 141 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,200 trajectory, suggesting a technological artifact with 142 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,880 active intelligence. If future data will indicate the 143 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,160 absence of a commentary, a commentary tale, we will be 144 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,680 faced with the tantalizing possibility that it did not 145 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,360 inherit a random velocity in an interstitial space, but instead 146 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,000 was sent toward the inner solar system by design, Loeb wrote in 147 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,039 a blog post. Even more sinister Loebel search 148 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,559 newspaper is the possibility of the object performing a 149 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,919 clandestine deep space maneuver while it is hidden behind the 150 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,760 sun in late October, then setting course for a malign 151 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,920 intent rendezvous with Earth. The consequences, should the 152 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,960 hypothesis turn out to be correct, could potentially be 153 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,320 dire for humanity and would possibly require defensive 154 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,160 measures to be undertaken, though these might prove futile, 155 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,360 he wrote. Loeb's postulation, to which he 156 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,800 admits he does not necessarily subscribe but what she contends 157 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,040 is at least worthy of analysis, failed to impress experts at 158 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,760 NASA. The space agency has been 159 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,720 studying the object closely through ground and space 160 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,840 telescopes since it was first spotted and state categorically 161 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,720 it poses no threat to Earth. It looks like a comet. 162 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,560 It does comet things. It very strongly resembles in 163 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,920 just about every way the comets that we know, said Tom State 164 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,200 Lord, NASA's lead scientist for solar system small bodies. 165 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640 It has some interesting properties that are a little bit 166 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,560 different from our solar system comets, but it behaves like a 167 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:46,880 comet, and so the evidence is overwhelmingly pointing to this 168 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,600 object being a natural body. It's a comet. 169 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,920 Imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope suggests it is up to 3 170 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,600 1/2 miles wide and traveling at 130,000 mph, the highest 171 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,480 velocity ever recorded for a visitor to the solar system. 172 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,040 Well, I think it's, I think you have to achieve 17,500 mph to 173 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,120 break for your gravity. So yeah, you know what, 8 * 8 174 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,280 times the speed they need. Statler said all comments, not 175 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,880 just those that are interstellar, exhibit some 176 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,760 elements of an omelet. Comments are mixtures of dust 177 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480 and ice. They're being heated by the sun. 178 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,720 That heat is changing, and exactly how they respond to that 179 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040 is something that's a bit unpredictably said. 180 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,680 So even in our solar system, comets can have a history of 181 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,800 suddenly brightening if there's, say, a particular pocket of ice 182 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,200 that sublimates quickly and drives off a large amount of 183 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,120 dust. It's the sort of thing that our 184 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,200 common observers and experts have prepared for and presents 185 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,800 an opportunity to get more information. 186 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,520 Status of the object would not come closer to Earth than about 187 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,240 170 million miles due to the position of the planets. 188 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,640 Over the next few months, it will make close passes with 189 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Mars, Jupiter and Venus. It's special because we now have 190 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,680 the ability to discover these interstellar comets, he said. 191 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,720 It's not that they're really anything new, but we've just 192 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,720 recently had the ability to discover them, and we've 193 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,960 discovered only three so far. This gives us a window we've 194 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,760 never had before, directly into the composition of other solar 195 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,080 systems. Loeb, meanwhile, acknowledged in 196 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:28,200 his blogspot that the simplest hypothesis of three I 8 Atlas is 197 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,280 a comet, and that he was raising alternative possibilities as an 198 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,240 exercise in challenging preconceived ideas. 199 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,720 Let us instead maintain our childhood curiosity and seek 200 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,920 evidence rather than pretend to be adults in the room that know 201 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,200 the answers in advance, he wrote. 202 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:48,080 The hypothesis is an interesting exercise in its own right, and 203 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,040 it's fun to pursue irrespective likely validity. 204 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,080 And the problem with that is if you have a large segment of the 205 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,840 population thinking that there's going to be a three and a half 206 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,560 mile wide comet hit the planet Earth and all Hell's going to 207 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,160 break loose, they may bring hell a little while before it gets 208 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,200 here. I want to take a look at this 209 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,600 post that John Greenwald Junior put up from the Black Vault. 210 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,480 I follow him on Twitter. I highly recommend you follow. 211 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,080 This guy really has a lot of good stuff over here. 212 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,960 So he posts his copy of this document and it says this 213 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,920 document just appeared online. It appears to be a government 214 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,600 document. I don't know if it's real or 215 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200 fake. And then it's dated July 14th, 216 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,080 2025. It says Department of Defence. 217 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,000 I guess that's before we changed it to Department of War. 218 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,920 U.S. Department of Defence tops top 219 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,560 secret. It says SIG no foreign 220 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:45,600 interstellar object, High interest assessment comments. 221 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,720 See 2025 in one Atlas. Then it says top secret again 222 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:58,360 SI-G Norfone, and then restricted to ODNIUSSF NASA 223 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,240 OPCEN. Now they're definitely calling 224 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,720 this saying N1 Atlas. It says Harvard Astrophysius Avi 225 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,360 Loebus blacked out Galileo Project analysis AT1 displays an 226 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,560 unusually high hyperbolic excess velocity around 5:00 kilometers. 227 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:25,360 A second retrograde orbit within 5 inches, I guess of the eclipse 228 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,040 trajectory passes Venus, Mars and Jupiter. 229 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:33,200 Estimated arrival at Paranan October 29th, 2025. 230 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,080 Approximately 1.35 astronomical units from the Sun. 231 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,360 Strategic trajectory may facilitate surveillance probes. 232 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:48,400 Furing, I don't know, Furing FURING close planetary flybys. 233 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,640 Contact established with sentient beings aboard craft. 234 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,880 Now that's weird. At the bottom of the sayings it 235 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,640 says contact established with sentient beings aboard craft. 236 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,200 Weird, weird stuff. And estimated arrival at 237 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:12,600 Perinian 29th of October. Of course, perillion means 238 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,880 that's when the object is the closest to the sun. 239 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880 So they're saying this thing is going to be the closest to the 240 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,080 sun on October 29th. It says that. 241 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920 Then it says Earth reaches playing around January 3rd each 242 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,120 year when it is about 91,000,000 miles from the sun. 243 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,320 The comet's brightness often increases dramatically near 244 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,360 paren because the solar radiation heats set up, causing 245 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,280 ice to vaporize in a glowing coma and tail. 246 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,560 So I'm assuming this thing is on the backside of the sun to us. 247 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,080 If it's not going to get within 170 million miles, that's weird. 248 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,960 What's weird though is of course, if it's behind the sun, 249 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,960 we probably won't be able to have any kind of communication 250 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,800 with. I would think the sun would 251 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,680 block that out. But the idea, they say contact 252 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,840 established with sentient beings aboard the craft, That's a new 253 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,160 twist there that Greenwald's, Greenwald's come across, man, I 254 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,960 don't, I don't get that at all. So I wanted to probe into this 255 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,240 whole idea that this three one Atlas, what they're calling a 256 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,120 comet or interstellar space object or whatever it is, might 257 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,200 actually be some kind of a spacecraft, which is what Avilo 258 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,960 has been talking about. And you know, when you type in 259 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,280 the search term 31 Atlas slash alien contact, you immediately 260 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,640 are inundated with page after page after page of debunking 261 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,000 included in those as Snopes, which my opinion is just a joke, 262 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,320 but it kind of gets my Spidey senses up. 263 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,920 I have to tell you. Because when you search these 264 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:52,520 topics that are kind of outside the norm that people maybe just 265 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,240 chalk up to being conspiracy theory or just craziness or 266 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,920 whatever. And you see that literally 267 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:06,840 hundreds of so-called reputable news outlets and professors and 268 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,720 experts of all fields have come out and found the time to write 269 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,640 articles debunking said subject. You have to wonder what's going 270 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,400 on. I mean, why would the average 271 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,840 person even care about taking the time to spill out such 272 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,760 vitriol, putting on all this debunking stuff online, if there 273 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,000 wasn't some seed of truth or just even the possibility of 274 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:32,960 truth? I guess so. 275 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,280 I found this article. It took a while to find 276 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,200 something that wasn't just 100% hating. 277 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,960 I found this sort of weirddarkness.com 278 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,240 weirddarkness.com Title says 31 Atlas a Trojan horse question 279 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,440 mark. The evidence that has scientists 280 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,600 fighting is dated October 16th 2025. 281 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,880 Doesn't have an author listed. Says as the third interstellar 282 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,920 visitor races through our solar system. 283 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,520 The Harvard professors warning about a potential Trojan Horse 284 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,560 alien probe clash with mounting evidence that 31 Atlas might be 285 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,920 the strangest comet we've ever seen. 286 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,359 The Trojan Horse warning on October 8th, 2025 S what? 287 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,160 A week ago, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb 288 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,599 published what might be remembered as either prescient 289 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,920 warning or spectacular overreach. 290 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,480 The interstellar comet racing through our solar system, he 291 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,760 wrote, could be alien technology performing a clandestine reverse 292 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,120 solar Oberth maneuver while hidden from Earth behind the 293 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:41,400 sun. If this hypothesis proved 294 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,240 correctly added, the consequences could be 295 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,280 potentially dire for humanity. And I guess we'll know once this 296 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,160 thing comes up behind the sun sometime after, what, October 297 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,800 29th? This wasn't some fringe Blogger 298 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,800 making wild claims. Loeb holds a Harvard 299 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,160 professorship and has spent three months meticulously 300 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,120 documenting what he called anomalies in the behaviors of 301 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,600 three One Atlas, the third confirmed interstellar object to 302 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,160 visit our solar system. I guess that's where you get the 303 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,840 three one from, right? Three. 304 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,160 And then, well, I'm saying one, but maybe it means I 305 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,160 interstellar. Nice choice of symbols to use 306 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,520 there. By his calculation, there was a 307 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,280 30 to 40% chance this wasn't entirely natural. 308 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,120 Now someone can tell me in the in the comments, is this 309 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,360 actually supposed to be 3 I Atlas or three one Atlas, 310 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:35,080 because I've seen it printed both ways. 311 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,480 The astronomical community's response was swift and brutal. 312 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,120 Nonsense on stilts, declared Chris Lintutt from Oxford. 313 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,640 Steven Dish from Arizona State called Loeb's work sloppy and 314 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,360 accuse him of bypassing A peer review to feed conspiracy 315 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,360 theories directly to the public. NASA's Tom Statler insisted the 316 00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:01,920 object very, very strongly resembles in just about every 317 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,280 way the commas that we know. I guess it's important to get 318 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,000 that extra very in there, huh? Something about 3 I Atlas 319 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,360 refused to fit neatly into established categories. 320 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,240 The story began quietly on July July 1st, 2025. 321 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,320 The NASA funded Atlas telescope in Chile was running its routine 322 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,920 sky survey when its algorithms fly on an unusual object. 323 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,080 Initial velocity measurements revealed it was travelling at 324 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,000 137,000 mph, fast enough to escape the Sun's gravity 325 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,680 entirely. This was no ordinary comment 326 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,760 from the outer reaches of our solar system. 327 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,000 This came from somewhere else. Sam Dean and amateur astronomer 328 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,480 examining the discovery data figured out why professionals 329 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,040 had missed it. For weeks, the object had been 330 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,640 passing directly in front of the galactic center, lost against 331 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,120 the dense backdrop of millions of stars. 332 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,320 Once astronomers knew where to look, they found it in images 333 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:09,400 dating back to June 14th. The minor planet designated it 3 334 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,040 Iyer, I guess. I guess we're calling it Three 335 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,760 I, the third endless stellar interlooper from Iwanema in 2017 336 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:25,520 and Warzov in 2019. But where Warzov had behaved 337 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,640 like a typical comet and Umawama had come and gone before 338 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,720 detailed Study Three I Atlas would provide months of 339 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,920 observation. What scientists saw challenged 340 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,280 their understanding of what interstellar visitors should 341 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,960 look like. Comets follow predictable 342 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,320 patterns. Far from the sun, they remain 343 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,320 frozen and dark. Only when a solar radiation 344 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,720 heats their icy nuclei do they begin releasing gas and dust, 345 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,720 creating the glowing common tale that makes them visible from 346 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,320 Earth. There's a well understood 347 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,400 distance where this activism begins. 348 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,160 Three Eye Atlas was blowing long before it should have been. 349 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,880 At its discovery distance, conventional comets remain 350 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,760 completely inactive, yet Three Eye Atlas blazed with unexpected 351 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,640 brightness. Initial attempts to measure its 352 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,560 size produce wildly varying results, anywhere from 14140 353 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,200 feet to 3 1/2 miles across. Somewhere, some calculations 354 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,560 suggest a massive 33 billion tons dwarfing previous 355 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,160 interstellar visitors. Sounds like a small mountain. 356 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,720 There. The James Webb Telescope 357 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,880 chemical analysis deepened the mystery. 358 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,200 The comments showed a carbon dioxide to water ice ratio of 359 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,920 eight to one, among the highest ever recorded. 360 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,280 Comments from our solar system typically show the opposite 361 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,720 proportions, with water dominating their composition. 362 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,000 Whatever stellar system had produced Three I Atlas operated 363 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,200 under very different rules. That's weird. 364 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,520 Now. Now you're getting this whole 365 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,800 thing of is this thing even following the laws of physics? 366 00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:09,640 The impossible alignment, it says. 367 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,720 Within a week of discovery, Loeb and his colleagues at Harvard 368 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,240 had published their first analysis. 369 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,800 The mathematics disturbed them. Three Eye Atlas wasn't just 370 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,040 passing through our solar system, it was threading a 371 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,160 needle. The object's trajectory would 372 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,960 bring it remarkably close to Venus, then Mars, then Jupiter. 373 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,480 The probability of a random chance producing these multiple 374 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:41,200 multiple planetary encounters? Less than .005% according to 375 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,280 their calculations. More troubling was the orbital 376 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,960 alignment. The comet's path matched our 377 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,200 solar system's ecliptic plane within 5°. 378 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,280 Imagine throwing a dart from another star system light years 379 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,160 away and having it arrive perfectly parallel to the 380 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,920 spinning disk of our planets. Statistically, it bordered on 381 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,440 impossible. That's pretty wild. 382 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,760 You think about it. This trajectory it's coming in 383 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,040 on is just like a right along our planetary plane. 384 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,440 It's almost like it would have to be intentional. 385 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,120 Loeb's team ran the numbers repeatedly. 386 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,640 Each calculation reinforced the same conclusion. 387 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,360 Either this represented an extraordinary cosmic 388 00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:26,520 coincidence, or the OR the trajectory it wasn't random at 389 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,000 all. Wow, the chemistry that 390 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,120 shouldn't exist, it says. Late August brought the 391 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:36,040 discovery that would divide the scientific community. 392 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,200 Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile detected 393 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,560 nickel vapor streaming from Three Eye Atlas. 394 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,760 This wasn't unusual. Comets often emit metallic 395 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,120 vapors when heated. What stunned researchers was 396 00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:56,360 that they didn't detect iron and the cosmic forge of dying stars. 397 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,040 Nickel and iron formed together. They are constant companions 398 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,920 throughout the universe, bound by the physics of stellar 399 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,880 nucleosynthesis. Finding nickel with iron without 400 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,320 iron was like finding smoke without fire. 401 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,920 Theoretically possible, but practically unheard of. 402 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,640 The emission patterns defied conventional comet behavior. 403 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,320 Instead of streaming away from the sun as solar wind pushed 404 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:26,040 them, the nickel emissions extended in both solar and anti 405 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,200 solar directions, creating what astronomers call an anti tail. 406 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,520 White light images failed to show the expected death tail 407 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,200 entirely. Ron Rathagunkar's team proposed 408 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,560 exotic chemistry involving nickel carbonyl components that 409 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,520 might vaporize at different temperatures than iron 410 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,440 compounds. They acknowledged this would 411 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,120 represent an extreme, rare process, one never previously 412 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,320 observed in nature. The only place humans had seen 413 00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:02,720 nickel separated from iron was in the industrial refineries, 414 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,160 where the separation required deliberate chemical processing. 415 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,880 That's really weird. Sounds more and more intentional 416 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,680 all the time. The Mars encounter October 3rd, 417 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:17,000 2025 marked three eye atlases closest approach to Mars. 418 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,320 Multiple spacecraft orbiting and roving on the Red Planet turned 419 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,120 the instruments toward the visitor. 420 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:31,240 At 213339 Mars local time on October 4th, NASA's Perseverance 421 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,440 Rover captured something that would ignite Internet 422 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,480 speculation. The right navigation camera 423 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,400 recorded an elongated streak across the sky of Mars, roughly 424 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,560 4 times longer than it was wide. Within hours, enhanced versions 425 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,640 of circulated online, with claims of seeing a cylindrical 426 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,560 spacecraft. Dr. Horace Drew from Australia's 427 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,560 CSIRO, made a startling claim. The green glow visible in some 428 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,920 images represented nickel coating rather than normal 429 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,240 comedy missions. Aliens may code their spacecraft 430 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,320 with nickel just as we could ours, he stated, drawing 431 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,280 parallels to human spacecraft design. 432 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,600 The irony was that Loeb himself, the scientist most associated 433 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,760 with alien technology theories, had to debunk the spacecraft 434 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,200 interpretation. The elongation, he explained, 435 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,840 resulted from the cameras stacking hundreds of exposures 436 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,960 over 10 minutes while the three eye Atlas moved across the sky. 437 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,280 Motion blur, not alien engineering, had created the 438 00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:41,400 stretched appearance. But the fact that even Loeb was 439 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,040 walking back some claims didn't diminish other questions. 440 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,600 The European Space Agency Exomars orbiter captured the 441 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,280 comet as a fuzzy white dot, showing classic commentary 442 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,320 features. Yet the emission patterns 443 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,080 remained unlike anything in the database of observed comments. 444 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,800 By October, the debate had turned to personal. 445 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,920 Jason Wright at Penn State published A detailed blog post 446 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,200 documenting what he considered fundamental errors in lobes 447 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,880 analytics. The supposed absence of a comma, 448 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,720 Wright explained, came from a proper telescope tracking that 449 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,360 kept the comet sharp with stars trailed size. 450 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,240 Miscalculation stem from misunderstanding how brightness 451 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,600 translates to dimensions. Steven Dish's criticism cut 452 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,000 deeper. Unable to get his theories 453 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,560 through peer review, Dish argued, Loeb had turned to the 454 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,280 public, feeding conspiracy theorists who believed 455 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:36,600 everyone's hiding something. Well, I guess he can collect his 456 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,040 bonus check for slipping in the word conspiracy theorist. 457 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,680 The accusation is stung because it questioned not just Loeb 458 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,800 science, but its integrity as a researcher. 459 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,520 Tom Statler, speaker for NASA, tried to find middle ground. 460 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,120 Yes, three I Atlas had interesting properties that are 461 00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:58,360 a little bit different from our solar system comets, but it 462 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:00,000 fundamentally behaves like a comet. 463 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080 The evidence, he insisted, overwhelmingly pointed to a 464 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:05,800 natural origin. Yet even as mainstream 465 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,640 astronomers united against the alien hypothesis, they struggled 466 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,160 to explain all of three I Alice's specialties with 467 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,760 conventional models. Loeb's October 8th paper 468 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,960 represented his most dramatic claim yet. 469 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,960 He invoked the dark forest hypothesis, the idea that the 470 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,560 universe teams with civilizations that remain silent 471 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,600 to avoid attracting predators. Under this scenario, any 472 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,680 civilization that reveals itself risk annihilation by more 473 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,680 advanced species. If Three Eye Atlas represented 474 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,840 technology, Loeb argued, its makers had chosen the perfect 475 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,440 camouflage. Disguising a probe as a comet 476 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,440 would allow close observation of our solar system without 477 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,400 triggering a without triggering alarm, the planned perihelion on 478 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,400 October 30th would occur while the object remained hidden from 479 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,480 Earth behind the sun. The perfect moment of for course 480 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,880 correction unseen by human telescopes. 481 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,480 The papers language was carefully calibrated. 482 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,680 Loeb acknowledged The natural explanation remained more 483 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,800 probable, but the stakes, if you were wrong about that 484 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440 probability, justify continued vigilance. 485 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,360 Will I be happier if the future data on three eye Alice shows it 486 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,920 to be a natural comet rather than a spacecraft? 487 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,720 He wrote. Yes, I would be relieved to know 488 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,960 that it is an icy rock because in that case humanity will not 489 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,080 face any risk. Yeah, pretty well when you think 490 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,440 about it. And it says well, headlines 491 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,080 focus on alien possibilities. Other scientists developed 492 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,720 prosaic explanations for three eye Atlas properties. 493 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,240 The nickel mystery yielded to temperature dependent chemistry. 494 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,640 Nickel tetracarbonyl vaporizes at lower temperatures than iron 495 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,880 pentacarbonyl. As three eye Atlas warmed 496 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,920 approaching the Sun, the nickel compounds would sublime first 497 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,200 while iron remain frozen. Later observations confirmed 498 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,160 iron emissions increasing as predicted by this model. 499 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,400 Age estimates provided context for the comets strange 500 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,240 composition. Researchers calculated with 68% 501 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:14,240 confidence that the three eye Alice was between 7.6 and 14 502 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,080 billion years old, potentially older than our 4.6 year old 503 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,960 billion year old solar system, an object that ancient formed in 504 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,960 a stellar nursery with different chemical abundances but 505 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,800 naturally carry exotic materials. 506 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,760 Could you imagine what this thing would be worth? 507 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,760 One team proposed 3 Eye Atlas might be a lightified classic 508 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,800 fragment from an exoplanetary cemetery basin, essentially 509 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,080 compressed alien geology that had spent billions of years 510 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,400 wandering between stars, transformed by cosmic radiation 511 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,240 and micrometeorite impacts into something barely recognizable. 512 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,760 Wow. And then it says the approaching 513 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,880 moment will finish up here. As October 16th, 2025 arrived, 514 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,920 Three Eye Atlas continued its inexorable approach to 515 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,520 perihelion. In two weeks, it would be 516 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,440 swinging behind the Sun, hidden from Earth's view for crucial 517 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,080 days. If this were merely an ancient 518 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,440 comet, it would emerge on a predictable path to interstellar 519 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,840 space. If Loeb's warnings held any 520 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,720 truth, anything could happen in that blind spot. 521 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,920 The betting markets, those strange parameters of collective 522 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,160 belief, offered odds on three eye Atlas Nature, Natural Comet 523 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,920 traded at 75% of probability. Alien Technology held at steady 524 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,160 at 25%. Never before had bookmakers 525 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,280 taken 8 wagers on 1st contact. Brian Cox observed that humanity 526 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,880 had progressed from Galileo's first telescopic observations to 527 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,080 photographing interstitial comments from Mars in just 400 528 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,440 years. The international cooperation 529 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,760 required spacecraft from multiple nations working in 530 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,880 concert. Data shared across traditional 531 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,840 rivalries, representative humanity as collaborative best. 532 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,920 Yet the controversy exposed raw nerves and how science 533 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,120 communicates uncertainty. Yeah, for sure. 534 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,480 And then it finishes up here. It says watching and waiting. 535 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,400 Three Eye Atlas races onward at 137,000 mph, carrying either 536 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,680 billions of years of cosmic history or intentions that we 537 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,440 can't fathom. The JUICE spacecraft will 538 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,280 attempt observations in November. 539 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,520 Juno might archive closer examination in March of 2026. 540 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,680 Each data set could provide resolution or deepen the 541 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,800 mystery. For now, humanity does what it 542 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,320 has always done when confronted with the unknown. 543 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,520 We watch, we measure, we argue. Telescopes track every moment, 544 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,120 spectrographs analyze every emission, and theorists bottle 545 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,720 every possibility. If this is a hostile 546 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,160 reconnaissance, as Loeb's dark scenario suggests, it must be 547 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,360 history's most observed surprise attack. 548 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,000 If it's a natural phenomena, it's teaching us that the 549 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440 universe creates chemistry we haven't imagined, follows 550 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,680 dynamics we don't understand, and occasionally arranges 551 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,680 coincidences that border on impossible. 552 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,280 The most likely explanation remains that Three Eye Atlas is 553 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,080 exactly what most scientists believe, an ancient fragment of 554 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,040 another solar system shaped by billions of years of 555 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,200 interstellar wandering into something alien, into our 556 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,600 experience but entirely natural in origin. 557 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,160 The Nicoli emissions, the trajectory, the early activation 558 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,960 all probably have explanations rooted in exotic but natural 559 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,520 processes, but that word probably carries weight. 560 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,320 In science. Low probability events sometimes 561 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,400 prove correct. Continental drift was once 562 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,240 considered impossible, but black holes weren't mathematical 563 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,840 curiosities. The accelerating expanses of the 564 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,040 universe defined all expectations. 565 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,080 As October 30th approaches and Three Eye Atlas disappears 566 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,960 behind the sun, we're left to question what may never fully 567 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,440 resolve. Even after he emerges and 568 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,639 continues his journey back to interterial space, Debates will 569 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,840 persist about what we witnessed. The data will be analyzed for 570 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,320 decades, papers will be written and arguments will continue. 571 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,440 Well, I guess we're going to find out here in a couple weeks, 572 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,280 aren't we? For people, I guess have been 573 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,040 asking about this, this three I Atlas, It looks like it's 574 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,080 heading toward the sun, will be behind the sun here in about two 575 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:34,159 weeks on October 30th. And then if it goes with the 576 00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:36,239 pattern that they think it'll take, the path that they think 577 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,880 it'll take, it'll just it'll just continue on and applying by 578 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,199 Jupiter. I think it's his next stop. 579 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,679 If it doesn't and we see a big change in direction toward Earth 580 00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:50,080 and I guess we'll know something's up. 581 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,080 Anyway, that's kind of the overview that I saw this thing. 582 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,199 I thought it was interesting. This last article I think was 583 00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,000 probably the best one I came across as far as really being 584 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,560 fair minded and even handed with the evidence. 585 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,640 Hope you enjoyed the program. If you did, don't forget to 586 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,840 like, follow, subscribe. Doesn't cost a dime. 587 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,640 Until next time. This is UFO warning over and 588 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:07,840 out.
