The newly discovered interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may be a disguised example of “possibly hostile” extraterrestrial technology, according to a controversial study by a small group of scientists including a renowned astronomer who searches for aliens.
Their paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, echoes similar claims made earlier about 'Oumuamua, the first-ever space intruder discovered in 2017.
However, experts told Live Science that the new claims are “nonsense” and “offensive,” insisting that the available evidence confirms the object is entirely natural.
