If you get onto Reddit or any platform where the UFO fringe has taken hold you cannot miss (if you dig through the UFO grifters) the fact that for months we have had images of a huge alien mothership. Well, doctored images as some are so clear that you have to wonder why it takes decades to get good images of distant stars. 3I/Atlas has, from the very outset been used to literally spam the world with false information -telepathic communication with the entities onboard, smaller objects leaving and escorting it in formation and, of course, clearly (not) see thrusters.
Avi Loeb, the once reputable academic claimed things that never matched the true data but used data how he wanted to fit his huge media circus. Loeb seems to cherish the huge media circuses that surround his claims and has thrown science out of the window.
Years ago I stated that Loeb was correct in stating that large object suddenly approaching the inner solar system need to be studied and monitored for many reasons but we have never, in the history of our world, been in a position where we can detect possible extraterrestrial craft. But Loeb has made claim after claim and not as a scientist ought to by making sensible statements based on fact and detailing why he thinks an object (or debris on an ocean floor) could be something with alien intelligence behind it.
I am not sure whether Loeb is aware of (he's old enough to have heard of it) the story of "Thew Boy Who Cried Wolf"? The story is about a shepherd boy who, out of sheer boredom, repeatedly tricks villagers by claiming falsely that a wolf is attacking his sheep. When a real wolf finally attacks, the villagers don't believe his cries for help because they think it's another one of his lies, and as a result, the sheep are lost. The fable is a cautionary tale about how lying erodes trust, making it difficult for people to believe you even when you are telling the truth.
I think Loeb needs to remember that story.
According to an article published on MSN: 3I/ATLAS: Astronomer Claims 'Misinformation' On Comet Traced To Avi Loeb
"The sudden appearance of the interstellar voyager 3I/ATLAS has reignited a fervent public debate over humanity's status in the universe. While the comet's ethereal green glow and complex tail structure have dazzled amateur astronomers, its arrival has coincided with a provocative new theory that challenges our understanding of extraterrestrial life: the 'Solitude Zone'.
"A groundbreaking paper published in Acta Astronautica argues that we may not be as isolated as we feel. Instead, it introduces a probabilistic framework suggesting that while the universe might be teeming with life, we are currently trapped in a statistical window where finding a peer is mathematically unlikely. This statistical pessimism stands in stark contrast to the sensational claims circulating in the media, many of which have been fuelled by high-profile academic speculation.
"The 'Solitude Zone': A Statistical Reality Check
"The concept of a 'Solitude Zone' was introduced by Antal Veres of the Hungarian University of Agriculture in a recent peer-reviewed study. It offers a sobering counter-narrative to the excitement generated by objects like 3I/ATLAS.
"Rather than describing a physical region in space, the Solitude Zone represents a 'statistical window'—a specific range where the probability of exactly one complex lifeform existing is significantly higher than the probability of many such species existing, or none at all. As Veres explains, this window forms 'a bell curve, not an exponential function'. This framework adds crucial nuance to long-standing tools for estimating extraterrestrial life, such as the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation, suggesting that while advanced civilizations may be common in the grander timeline of the universe, they rarely overlap in a way that allows for contact."
Well, any seriously thought out paper on the subject is welcome but let's look at the facts here. It is claimed that since 1947 the Earth has been inundated with visits by flying saucers piloted by aliens. Roughly 95% of UFO sightings can be dismissed as can claims of "UFO Waves" of activity -1954 and the "French Wave" is a good example where everything from aircraft, helicopters, meteorites and even a driver working on a broken down bus by a roadside were all classed (and still are by people who KNOW better -Vallee) as "flying saucer incidents".
Lights in the sky mean nothing other than that they may be a scientifically unstudied phenomenon that I outlined back in 1980 and called UNP (Uninvestigated Natural Phenomenon). People have even described what is obviously ball lightning as "intelligently controlled". There is a need to sort the wheat from the chaff and concentrate only on reports where there is no doubt that a constructed craft of some type is being reported. There are a good few credible reports but scientists failing their profession refuse to look at them for all sorts of illogical and unscientific reasons -"Its all fake and hallucinations aliens don't exist!" and "nonsense!" which is the cover all and Prof Brian Cox is the perfect example of this type of claimed scientist -is FAR (Fear of Alien Reality) to blame?
You can dismiss 100% of the Contactee claims. I have written and discussed the "Grey phenomenon" before. "Little green men" is usually the response from self claimed scientists if a landing and entities are observed. Firstly, despite what certain Ufologists claim, "hundreds" of alien types are NOT visiting Earth. A lot of these numbers claimed are based on uninvestigated press reports -some only a short paragraph. I have studied these reports since 1974 and I have noted that there are similarities in entities reported and when those similarities are reported but unknown even to Ufologists (who also do not seriously care about these reports unless it is the Hill or Walton cases) the credibility goes up slightly.
Scientists have either adopted the keep your mouth shut and keep your job attitude and ignored the subject or carried out basic research on the quiet. I have covered the work of the French space agency before so won't go into that here. Remember that even though ancients knew about meteorites from some more modern period (the main period being the 17th-early 19th centuries) Western 'experts' ridiculed the very idea of stones falling from the sky and even though there are huge numbers of reports some scientists still ridicule ball lightning.
The MSN article goes on:
Claims of 'Misinformation' Traced to Avi Loeb
"Despite the swirling vortex of conspiracy theories, scientists emphasize that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not an alien spacecraft nor evidence of extraterrestrial technology. The object, which was recently photographed 'photobombing' the distant galaxy NGC 4691, is a natural—albeit extraordinary—visitor. However, the narrative has been complicated by high-profile assertions challenging this consensus.
"Astronomer Qicheng Zhang of Arizona's Lowell Observatory, a co-author of a preprint study on the object, has expressed frustration with the circulating misinformation that attempts to link the comet to alien intervention.
'A large fraction of the misinformation I've seen can be directly traced back to [Avi Loeb] misinterpreting or not fully reading the data,' Zhang told Popular Science.
"Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist, has aggressively promoted the theory that 3I/ATLAS displays 'anomalies' incompatible with natural origins. Specifically, he cited the object's 'non-gravitational acceleration'—a boost in speed not caused by gravity—as evidence of potential 'technological thrusters' or a solar sail. Loeb argued that for a natural comet to accelerate this fast via outgassing, it would need to lose mass at a rate that would destroy it, calculating that the surface area required for such evaporation was 'untenable'.
"Zhang and other comet specialists flatly reject this, pointing out that Loeb's calculations ignored critical brightness measurements. These measurements confirmed the presence of a volatile-rich coma capable of producing the necessary thrust naturally, without the comet disintegrating.
"Natural Explanations for 'Alien' Anomalies
"Researchers stress that 3I/ATLAS is extraordinary even without the layer of extraterrestrial speculation. Loeb also seized on the comet's spectral shift, suggesting its blue hue could indicate an 'artificial source of light' or a hot engine. However, spectroscopic analysis has since confirmed the colour is the result of a standard—albeit bright—coma dominated by diatomic carbon and cyanogen, a common feature in comets that have travelled from the cold outer reaches of space.
"New studies indicate that cosmic radiation has altered the structure of 3I/ATLAS, building on growing scientific insight into how long-term exposure to the interstellar medium affects these wandering objects. Its 'outgassing'—jets of gas shooting from the surface—has provided the non-gravitational acceleration that mimics artificial propulsion to the untrained eye but fits perfectly within natural cometary models."
which says about all that needs saying. We then come to the question that we cannot answer :
"Are We Truly Alone? The Verdict
While Earth is not in a strict Solitude Zone, the new research suggests that multiple lifeforms at comparable technological levels may exist elsewhere—just perhaps not in our immediate temporal vicinity. As many scientists point out, advanced civilizations likely do not resemble humans—nor would they be found hitching a ride on a frozen rock like 3I/ATLAS.
"The Solitude Zone concept underscores that humans may be temporarily alone in their specific window of technological development, but the galaxy is likely rich with other forms of intelligent life, waiting for their own statistical window to open.
"NASA has yet to release new high-definition images of the comet due to reduced operations during the recent U.S. government shutdown. However, upcoming visuals—including shots from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter taken in early October—are expected to be released soon. The comet will make its closest approach to Earth on December 19, passing at a safe distance of about 167 million miles.
"As the scientific community works to separate hard data from high-profile speculation, 3I/ATLAS continues its journey as a natural wonder rather than an alien messenger. The friction between established astronomical models and Avi Loeb's sensational claims highlights the fragile balance between open-minded exploration and statistical reality.

3I/ATLAS: Astronomer Claims 'Misinformation' On Comet Traced To Avi Loeb
Here are the facts: we know absolutely NOTHING about basic alien life -microbes etc- let alone possible intelligent alien life. We know absolutely NOTHING about any alien civilisation or even alien technology because (officially) we have never come across those things. Had we, since 1947, studied UFO reports in a scientific and unbiased way ignoring military pressure (fear of admitting that a higher technology is beyond our defences or using reports to make a rival nation think this super tech is "yours") then each report could have been evaluated. Each witness or percipient questioned. Data gathered and analysed and from what is available hypotheses could have been formulated.
But science has not adhered to its rather loose "principles" and remained independent of politics and military influence -or the influence of money. Easier to accept dogma and mock and seem like you know it all. Professor Brian Cox, like many other claimed scientists, has never gathered UFO case data and studied it but simply put up the all blocking Ego Wall (imagine the idea of alien beings more knowledgeable than they!!).
Is there 100% evidence of alien visitation? No. Well, not that we would know of because it is quite clear that Science and Ufology as well as the ridiculing in the press/media and the grifters have made sure that many potential witnesses have kept silent. They do not want all the name calling and publicity. Look at some of my posts or books to see how witnesses have been mistreated.
It could well be that one of the potential Silent Witnesses managed to take or found something that could be analysed by science and found to be of non Earthly origin. We will never know, Who would want to get mixed up in the grifting circus of Loeb, Corbell, Knapp and Elizondo and all the poison spat out by the internet and scientists who should care?
Just as Oumuamua was not an interstellar mother ship so 3I/Atlas is not a mothership that will change history on the 29th October, 2025 (oh, wait -it didn't) or any other date being spouted.
After 50 years I do not intend breaking my rule of keeping witnesses/percipients identities confidential and we have already (thanks to Ufology) lost so much eye witness testimonyt.
