The scientific consensus regarding the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has fractured, with Harvard physicist Avi Loeb accusing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of ignoring evidence that suggests the body may be artificial.
While the agency maintains the object is a natural comet based on spectral analysis, Loeb argues that specific anomalies—including a retrograde orbit and a pulsed signal—warrant a more rigorous search for extraterrestrial technology.
