Harvard physicist says massive interstellar object could be alien probe on 'reconnaissance mission'

A Harvard physicist has suggested that the massive interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, which is larger than Manhattan, could be an alien probe on a "reconnaissance mission." The object's unusual glow pattern and planetary alignment have led the physicist to believe that it may have a technological origin. The object, which was first observed in 2019, is the first known interstellar object to pass through our solar system. Its size and the unusual characteristics observed have led the physicist to propose that it could be a probe sent by an advanced alien civilization to study our solar system. While this is a speculative theory, the physicist argues that the object's behavior is consistent with a technological artifact rather than a natural celestial body. The research has sparked ongoing discussions and debates within the scientific community about the nature and origins of this mysterious interstellar object.
