This thread is for that thing doing all that stuff. Not sure why there's a pic of Rogan in the thumbnail, it's like a science documentary, I didn't see him.
I guarantee it's all secret government crafts. People have been experimenting with that kind of tech since WW2, but surprisingly it vanished from the mainstream. Government has been hiding this stuff for that exact reason. Pretend it is aliens so you don't get held accountable for violating international treaties.
Same guarantee two guys gave me last week when they claimed "the government" has introduced hundreds of spayed or neutered (so as to not proliferate) coyotes in Suffolk County to "control" the deer population.
Once you learn how projection works and the motivation for hiding it, it makes the most sense for them to be government. I know aliens are sexy and people want them to exist, but in all reality, interstellar travel has limits and it's very unlikely any alien society has ever visited this planet due to the enormous undertaking it would require. That's just based on the laws of physics. It's the government, always has been. Occam's razor.
Comets are hard to observe due to their tails and comas. That makes perfect sense about my own coma now. I was in a cloudlike atmosphere of gas and dust that encompassed my solid nucleus as I approached the Sun. I'll never know how I made it back alive.
So we believe the US government has interstellar technology that can travel millions of miles but we don’t believe there’s any other life form in the universe or other universes that may have it? Hmm.
I watched this earlier and it doesn't flat out debunk the alien theory but it presents a good argument.
ChatGPT Summary (key facts & sources) 3I/ATLAS is the third confirmed interstellar object discovered passing through our Solar System (discovered 1 July 2025). JWST spectroscopy showed a CO₂-dominated coma (unusually high CO₂/H₂O ratio), plus detections of H₂O, CO, OCS and dust — a major dataset driving the origin discussion. The object’s composition and some unusual spectroscopic signatures have prompted both mainstream cometary interpretations and speculative proposals (including by Avi Loeb) about artificial/engineered origins. NASA, ESA and major observatories (HST, JWST, SPHEREx, ground telescopes) have active observing/analysis notes on 3I/ATLAS. --- Primary scientific & preprint papers 1.
