Harvard Scientist Suggests 3I/ATLAS Has Alien Probe Heading to Mars
A scientist named Avi Loeb thinks a mysterious object called 3I/ATLAS might be followed by a secret probe.
He says this probe could be heading towards Mars.
Loeb believes this probe is invisible and smaller than 100 meters, making it hard to see with telescopes.
The object is traveling extremely fast, about 60 kilometers per second!
If this is true, this object would arrive at Mars sometime in October 2025.
He thinks this is a clue that it might be alien technology.
He suggests using a special camera on Mars to look for this probe.
While other scientists don't necessarily agree with Loeb, he believes the object could pose a threat and world leaders should prepare.
Harvard scientist Avi Loeb suggests that 3I/ATLAS has an invisible probe.
The probe may be en route to Mars.
Loeb calculated the object's path suggests it might be alien technology.
He suggests the HiRISE camera may be able to detect this probe.
The object is estimated to be seven billion years old.
