The interstellar object could be on the “recognition mission”, warns the expert
Gabbard on the extraterrestrials: “continuing to seek the truth”
The director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard plays knowledge of the knowledge of the government of the UFO, but says that she will continue to “seek the truth” in an interview with Miranda guesses New York Post on August 6, 2025.
Astronomers have recently discovered a rare interstellar object passing through our solar system, and a Harvard physicist sounds the alarm that his strange characteristics could indicate that it is more than a simple typical comet.
“Perhaps the trajectory has been designed,” said Dr. Avi Loeb, professor of science at Harvard University at Fox News Digital. “If it had an objective to be in a way on a recognition mission, either to send mini probes to these planets or to monitor them … It seems quite abnormal.”
The object – nicknamed 3i / Atlas – was detected for the first time in early July by an asteroid telescope with terrestrial impact, or Atlas, located in Chile. The discovery only marked the third time that an interstellar object has been observed in our solar system, according to NASA.
Although NASA has classified the object as a comet, Loeb noted that an image of the cosmic visitor indicated an unexpected glow appearing in front of the object, rather than dragging behind it – something he described as “quite surprising”.

“Usually, with the comets, you have a tail, a cometary tail, where dust and gas shine, reflecting sunlight, and it is the signature of a comet,” Loeb told Fox News Digital. “Here you see a glow in front of her, not behind.”
Measuring about 20 kilometers in diameter, which makes it larger than Manhattan, 3i / Atlas is also unusually shiny for its distance. However, according to Loeb, its most unusual characteristic is its trajectory.

“If you imagine objects entering the solar system from random directions, only one in 500 of them would be so well aligned with the planets,” he said.

The interstellar object, which comes from The center of the Milky Way galaxy should also pass near Mars, Venus and Jupiter – something which is also very improbable to occur at random, according to Loeb.
“This is also close to each of them, with a probability of 20,000,” he said.

The 3i / Atlas object will reach its point closest to our sun – about 130 million kilometers – October 30, according to NASA.
“If it turns out to be technological, it would obviously have a great impact on the future of humanity,” said Loeb. “We have to decide how to answer this.”

In January, seven years after the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk, launched a Tesla roadster in orbit, the astronomers of the minor planet center of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts confused it with an asteroid.
