The mysterious interstellar comet 31/ATLAS has sparked worldwide speculation, and theoretical physicist Avi Loeb is once again at the center of the storm — boldly suggesting the object may actually be a spaceship sent by Aliens.

Comet 31/ATLAS: NASA’s Spacecraft MAVEN Captures Closest-Ever Views of Interstellar Visitor - USA Herald

His controversial claims have reignited a debate that stretches from NASA’s press briefings to true believers waiting for proof of extraterrestrial life.

A Rare Visitor From Beyond the Solar System

3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object ever observed entering our solar system. Unlike typical comets born in the Oort Cloud or Kuiper Belt, 31/ATLAS is passing through from another star system, making it inherently unusual and scientifically valuable.

According to Loeb, its “precise trajectory” and “non-gravitational acceleration” could indicate more than natural forces at play.

As he stated in his blog, “If the rare coincidence between the perijove distance and the Hill radius materializes, it might flag a technological signature.”

More details and updates appear in several recent reports:

'Most remarkable anomaly yet' on 3I/ATLAS journey to Earth 'could prove it's alien tech' - Daily Star

'Alien ship' 31/ATLAS uses 'engine' to accelerate towards Earth as it turns odd shade of blue - Daily Star

NASA Responds that 31/ATLAS is not Aliens

Loeb’s claims about Aliens sparked such intense online speculation that NASA held a press conference to formally shut down the rumors, firmly reiterating that 31/ATLAS is an active comet composed of ice, dust, and gas.

Most astronomers agree with the agency, noting that its coma and behavior align with known comet activity. Critics have dubbed Loeb the “Space Fraud,” arguing his ideas stretch credibility.

But Loeb argues the truth “will not be settled by the authority of NASA officials in press conferences.”

31/ATLAS and Jupiter will They Collide?

Loeb now claims 31/ATLAS may collide with Jupiter sometime around March 2026, a moment he believes could reveal signs of alien engineering. He suggests the comet could even release “technological devices” into Jupiter’s Lagrange Points L1 and L2 — gravitationally stable zones where spacecraft often park.

He emphasizes the statistical rarity of its path:
“The likelihood is smaller than 0.00004.”

Loeb also notes that because the comet was hidden behind the Sun during perihelion, scientists still lack key data:
