3I/ATLAS: The Interstellar Mystery, Part 2 of 2

“3I/ATLAS is weird. And for all of the time that we’ve spent studying this object, there is a new indication that it might have actually been studying us for even longer.” Some researchers have asked whether 3I/ATLAS, in principle, could be artificial. One of the scientists who has argued for caution against premature assumptions is Dr. Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist and former chair of Harvard’s astronomy department. “Usually, when you deal with scientific matters, they have very little impact on the future of humanity. Very little. However, here, if we ever encounter alien technology, everything will change. It will affect the financial markets. It will affect politics in a major way. So, my point is simple: this is different than other scientific matters.” If advanced civilizations exist elsewhere in the universe, they may not explore the galaxy as we intuitively imagine. At this stage, no conclusion is justified. Nor is dismissal.

One contemporary voice describing such a vision is Reverend Brandon Biggs, an American pastor and modern-day clairvoyant based in Oklahoma, United States. “I saw this major alien ship, and it flies over the Vatican, and it goes over the Mayan temples down in Mexico. Then I saw little bitty ships coming out of this mother ship that were balls of light, and it wasn’t a real ship.” If an object like 3I/ATLAS were someday shown to be associated with intelligence, it would naturally raise profound questions. Across spiritual traditions, such moments are not threats, but tests – invitations to grow ethically, to choose compassion over fear, and to align power with responsibility.
