Harvard Professor Avi Loeb discusses the mystery surrounding the 31/ATLAS comet and explains his argument that it has a 40% chance of being alien technology.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS baffles scientists, brightening 7x faster and turning blue. A Harvard expert suggests its strange path is a 'possible hint of design'.

Physicist Michio Kaku is warning about the AI-generated deepfakes, which exploit his image to push the idea the comet '3I/ATLAS' is an alien spacecraft that poses a potential threat.

Almost 50 years after the WOW! signal stunned astronomers in Ohio, 3I/Atlas reappears in the same sky region, raising questions about extraterrestrial activ

Physicist Brian Cox has confirmed that Comet 3I/ATLAS — an interstellar traveller predating our Sun — is a natural object composed of ice, dust, and carbon dioxide, and not of extraterrestrial design.

The widely talked about Comet 3I/ATLAS will pass by the sun on Thursday, but it will be December before stargazers can get a glimpse of the object.
