First spotted behaving unusually years ago, which made experts raise an alarm, interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is now showing signs that it might be 'slowing down' as it passes through the solar system.
While NASA maintains that the object is nothing more than a strange but natural comet, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb believes its recent movements could point to something far more extraordinary. According to VICE, Loeb speculated that the intelligent spacecraft is applying the brakes to remain in our solar neighbourhood longer than expected.
