(NewsNation) — A Harvard astrophysicist who has been tracking suspected comet 3I/ATLAS as it hurtles through the Milky Way is urging NASA to release high-resolution imagery he says was captured early this month.
Avi Loeb has drawn attention in recent months for suggesting 3I/ATLAS could be some form of alien tech based on various anomalies he’s observed. These include the interstellar object’s unusually large size, its lack of a traditional comet’s tail and data suggesting the mass contains an unnatural nickel alloy.
Loeb said some answers could come from images of 3I/ATLAS that were taken Oct. 2 by NASA’s HiRise camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter around the time the federal government shut down. The information has not yet been released, he said.
“The politics of the day should not sabotage science. They have the data. They should share it with scientists,” Loeb, referring to NASA, told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Thursday. “They can wait with any press release.”
Avi Loeb’s theory has created waves
3I/Atlas is expected to disappear behind the sun late this month and pass Jupiter early next year before leaving our galaxy, according to NASA, which considers the object a comet that poses no danger.
Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist who has reported on unidentified anomalous phenomena, aka UAPs or UFOs, for NewsNation, has called Loeb’s theory of possible alien tech “inflammatory.”
Coulthart, however, has said he’s agreeable to the idea of more resources going toward Loeb’s area of study.
The name 3I/ATLAS derives from the fact that it’s the third known interstellar object to enter our solar system; it was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System.
