Could comet 3I/ATLAS be alien technology? Controversial Harvard astrophysicist says yes

One thing about 3I/ATLAS is for certain: It's definitely not from Earth's solar system.

But what exactly is the intriguing interstellar object discovered speeding through our cosmic neighborhood? Most astrophysicists widely agree that 3I/ATLAS displays all the tell-tale signs of an icy comet.

Now, a trio of researchers led by Avi Loeb, a controversial astrophysicist from Harvard University, are positing a very different theory: What if 3I/ATLAS isn't just some random space rock that incurred upon our solar system by happenstance, but an intelligently controlled alien spacecraft?
