A Harvard astrophysicist suggests a fast-moving object named 3I/ATLAS, possibly the size of Manhattan, could be an alien spacecraft and may pass unusually close to Earth in November.
The object’s strange orbit and path near several planets raise concerns about potential hidden movement or threats, though the claim remains purely hypothetical.
NASA has dismissed the theory, stating the object will stay over 240 million kilometers away and poses no danger.
3I/ATLAS, traveling over 60 km/s, is believed to come from a distant star system and was discovered by a Chilean telescope.
