Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Just a Comet, Not Alien Spaceship, Scientists Confirm

  • Scientists confirm interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is natural, not an alien spacecraft, dismissing prior speculation.
  • Advanced radio observations using the Green Bank Telescope found no technosignatures or artificial emissions.
  • Lead researcher Benjamin Jacobson-Bell from UC Berkeley stated no alien signals were detected, despite high sensitivity.
  • 3I/ATLAS is only the third interstellar object discovered, making it scientifically significant despite natural origins.
  • Future surveys by Vera C. Rubin Observatory are expected to find more interstellar objects, potentially revealing anomalies.

Why It Matters: Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS confirmed natural; no alien tech detected, but interstellar research continues.
