NASA Detects Unusual Maneuver by Alien Spacecraft 3I/ATLAS
According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has performed a maneuver while approaching the Sun, showing evidence of non-gravitational acceleration.
The report states that "the radial acceleration from the Sun is 135 kilometers per day squared" and "the transverse acceleration relative to the direction toward the Sun is 60 kilometers per day squared."
Unfortunately, we cannot observe 3I/ATLAS from Earth at this opportune time, which raises the question of whether its trajectory was fine-tuned by extraterrestrial intelligence? - Avi Loeb
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb noted that the object's trajectory is consistent with an Oberth maneuver, sparking questions about potential extraterrestrial involvement.
The unusual maneuver was recorded at a distance of about 203 million kilometers from the Sun.
