Avi Loeb appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where interest in the Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS was revived. The Harvard astrophysicist suggested that the object might be more than a normal comet.

No. The significance of October 29 in the scientific community lies in 3I/ATLAS’ making a close approach. It is on this date, the comet will be the closest to planet Earth, allowing researchers to study it. Despite it’s closest approach, it must be noted that the comet will still be far away from the planet, posing no threat.

NASA has announced that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will approach Earth on October 29, 2025, marking its closest encounter at approximately 167 million miles away.

A signal unlike any other has reached Earth. The 3I/ATLAS project detected a unique transmission using the Fibonacci sequence at 1420 MHz.

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS reaches its closest point to the Sun today. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests it might release mini probes before Christmas. The object's trajectory and composition are being closely watched.

In particular, one scientist has claimed it could even be an 'alien mothership', with a few key differences which he claims are 'not natural', such as releasing a metal compound never seen before in nature, or the trajectory of its particles.
