Speaker 1 (00:00):
You may have heard about the object resembling Omua Mua
entering our Solar system at about one hundred and thirty
seven thousand miles per hour. It's a massive object about
the size of Manhattan. NASA says it's a comment, but
Harvard's top astrophysicist says it could be an alien spacecraft,
(00:20):
and he's terrified of what that means. The object is
called three I slash Atlas, and its trajectory is so
impossibly precise that the chances of it being natural are
less according to Avi Lobe, point zero zero five percent.
It's heading straight for our inner planets with surgical precision.
(00:44):
So is it really a comment or a spacecraft?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You follow yours? I'm Christina Gomez and welcome to this
episode of UFO News Updates.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Professor Avi Lobe and his teams say the interstellar object
is on an extremely unusual course for a that will
take it close to Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. Researchers also
believe that the chance of a space rock flying in
this path is less than five one thousandth of a percent.
Loweb also says that object appears to be being quote
(01:15):
intelligently directed and if it is alien. The world should prepare.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And you might ask yourself, is it a coincidence the
amount of UFO news that has been circulating lately. Is
this objects a partial reason for that? This isn't the
first sign someone's been watching us. Astronomers have been quietly
documenting impossible objects in our skies for years, and doctor
(01:41):
Beatrice via Rail from the Vasco Project mentioned this on
Demystify Sci Fi podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So in the green circles, you actually see nine beautiful
stars with typical brightness profile similar to all the other stars,
and they're there hearing this image of twelve of April
nine at fifty then they are no longer there. They
vanish and they're not there half an hour earlier either,
and they're not there six days later or started years later.
(02:11):
And that became quite a mystery, because there's no way
you can do that in the nineteen fifties with just
some astrophysical.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Phenomena. There's no way how we can get that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Nine objects appeared and vanished simultaneously. In the nineteen fifties,
seven years before humans launched our first satellite, the night
sky was completely pristine, yet something created multiple flashes of
light that defied all known physics, and she has now
documented nearly eight hundred objects that have simply vanished from
(02:49):
our skies, not exploded as super Nova's, not faded gradually,
just gone. If you enjoy UFO news updates, case studies,
and interviews, and I think you will like this channel,
please subscribe and share this episode with those you want
to keep in the know what the latest UFON is.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Whilst we found we are a lot of candidates, but
what we have is inspecting them more. It turns out
that you see something that looks like a star in
an old image and then you never see it again.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The three I als isn't just an interstellar visitor.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Loeb also says that object appears to be being quote
intelligently directed, and if it is alien, the world should prepare.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The object's path gives it perfect access to study our
major planets while making it nearly impossible for us to
intercept or even properly observe it. It's retrograde tilt creates
what military strategists would call a tactical advantage. And you
know what's really cool is that there is a live
(03:53):
cam pointed at the object, streamed by World Cam I
will place that link in my article on my website
at ufoews dot co. I do write articles for all
of the shows that take place right here, and all
the sources are attached to them. If this is an
alien probe, it's following a playbook we kind of already understand.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Were humans, we can send something similar to Voyage in
one very far away. We can send it very very
far away outside our solar system. Now, I imagine another civilization
might be able to do the same thing, and they
might send thousands or millions of probes to explore other
(04:35):
as other stars and their planets. And I think it
would be really really good to search for these objects.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We've sent Voyager to study other solar systems. An advanced
civilization could send millions of such probes, each one as
a scout, gathering intelligence, reporting back and so forth. But
here there's where this story gets really interesting. There's a
theory called the dark Forest hypothesis that explains not just
(05:07):
why the universe seems empty, but why finding an alien
probe might be the worst possible news for humanity, at
least according to Chinese author Luciation, and rests on two
undeniable facts. First, every civilization's primary goal is survival. Second,
(05:28):
resources in the universe are finite, but civilizations constantly expand.
This creates what scientists call a chain of suspicion. When
two civilizations meet, neither can know if the other is
friendly or hostile. If they both want peace, each must
consider that the other might attack first out of fear.
(05:51):
But there's a third factor that makes everything worse, technological explosion.
A civilization that seems harmless today could be a galactic
empire tomorrow. Look at humanity. We went from first flight
to nuclear weapons in just forty years, so the logical
conclusion becomes inescapable. The safest strategy is always to eliminate
(06:16):
any civilization you discover before they can become a threat.
And as the Chinese author writes, the universe is a
dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through
the trees like a ghost. If they find other life,
there's only one thing he can do, open fire and
(06:36):
eliminate them. At least, that seems kind of like the
more human mentality, But for over a century, humanity has
been broadcasting our existence to the galaxy. Every radio transmission,
every TV show, every radar pulse has been screaming to
the universe, Hey, we're here, we have technology, we're rapidly advancing,
(06:57):
Come and visit, and these signals have reached thousands of
star systems. If the dark Forest theory is correct, any
civilization that detected them had two choices, ignore us and
risk us becoming a threat, or eliminate us while we're
still primitive. But elimination requires reconnaissance. They'd need to study
(07:20):
our capabilities, our military technology, and our population centers. They
need to send scouts right and the timing here is perfect.
Our first powerful broadcast reached nearby stars in the forties
and fifties. If an alien civilization immediately dispatched probes, they'd
be arriving about right now if they were traveling at
(07:44):
a decent speed in a linear fashion, but also perfect
timing with all the latest UFO news that's been going
on lately. Is it by design? And they'd want to
observe us during our most vulnerable moments, and we can't
track them, can intercept them, can't fight back.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I think that when we have a blind date from
a visitor from another star, all bets are off. We
shouldn't assume anything, and then we should assess the risk
given the data that we have.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
As this gets closer, this will determine if we're looking
at humanity's first confirmed alien contact or if it's just
a casual asteroid or a fake invasion. Only time and
the trajectory speed will tell. If this object is artificial,
it will represent a level of technology that could cross
(08:39):
interstellar space in decades rather than millennia. A civilization that
advanced doesn't send probes for friendship exchanges. Well maybe they do,
but probably not. Instead they send them for intelligence gathering.
The object's size, potentially twenty kilometers across, isn't just impressive rategic,
(09:01):
large enough to carry extensive sensor equipment, communication, or rays,
and possibly smaller craft for detailed planetary surveys or even weapons.
AVI Lobe has proposed using the James Web Space Telescope
to study this interstellar object for signs of artificial propulsion
(09:22):
or non gravitational acceleration. But even if we confirm its artificial,
than what There is no international protocol for responding to
alien threats, no unified command structure, no plan at least
that the public knows of. But is this where the
mysterious space force created back in twenty nineteen should come
(09:46):
in for this. What do you think the three I
Atlas really is and are we witnessing first contact or
just a regular comment? Let me know in the comments below.
That is it for today. I will see you next time.
Be safe and remember keep your eyes on the skies.
