Speculation Is 2025 is the The Year we Make Contact?
If 3I/Atlas is Truly is in Origin, does that mean 2025 is the the year we make contact?
Evidence is piling up for the 3rd interstellar object, 3I/Atlas, to be of technological origin.
Between Ross Coulthart saying that he thinks Catastrophic Disclosure will happen - video here - and Rep. Luna asking NASA to investigate the object, there's definitely a reason people "in the know" want us to know about this object, and to be prepared for it.
Pure nickel without iron? That’s not something we see in natural comets.
Nickel combined with cyanide in the plume? That’s consistent with electroplated materials.
In short: These are signatures commonly associated with industrial manufacturing.
Is 3I/Atlas a technological object or extraterrestrial origin? It definitley seems that way, and TBH the evidence is there. I think 2025 may be the year we "make contact".
- It's an interstellar object on a hyperbolic path out of the solar system.
- Its composition is dominated by carbon dioxide, with almost no water — highly unusual.
- Its dust plume points toward the Sun, contrary to what’s expected from comet behavior.
- Its trajectory is precisely aligned with the plane of the solar system — a rare coincidence.
- It's accelerating without any visible outgassing to explain the thrust.
- It shows a forward-directed glow, possible radio signals, and signs of orientation control.
- It’s set to pass close to multiple planets, almost like a planned route.
- It may be powered by a nuclear drive.
- Its surface chemistry suggests an electroplated outer shell.
- The pure nickel coating is impossible in a natural comet or some other type of natural space debris.
- The nickel & cyanide plume matches electroplated coatings.
I don't know how much longer the MSM can truthfully keep calling it a comet.
It's only a matter of time until we truly do make contact. And I mean in a way that the public is finally made aware of.
Not neccesarily saying that they need ot land on the White House lawn or anything, but It's beginning to feel like we really might make contact this year, between this October to this December.
If 3I/Atlas is actually technological in some way, I find it possible that it could be a sentinel or an envoy sent to the Earth in some way.
An Envoy, being a diplomat or accredited messenger, representing extraterrestrial government, thus 3I/Atlas could bring some form of message with it, perhaps even an invitation.
See this thread for more information on the possibility of diplomacy.
A sentinel, being a soldier or guard whose job is to stand and keep watch. Think: the Black Knight Satelite, or something like that.
If it isn't some kind of harbinger of doom, then I find it plausible that it could be here for diplomatic relations.
Either way, the story is equally exciting and terrifying, at the same time. Let me know. What are your thoughts?
Is 2025 the year we make contact?
Is 3I/Atlas technological?
If it is, is 3I/Atlas a harbinger of death, destruction, and despair?
Or is it some kind of diplomat, sent here for the sole purpose of establishing said contact?

u/QuantumBlunt 6d ago
Do you have a source for your nickel composition claim? I heard the plume had nickel in it, but 100% pure nickel is the first time I hear this claim.
Also the trail is now pointing anti-sunward which makes it more in line with what a normal comet looks like.

u/707-5150 6d ago
How about source for a nuclear drive lol

u/PomeloSpecialist356 6d ago
It may be.
I understand what you’re saying; I believe it is hypothesized based on the lack of evidence of off-gassing, and in conjunction with its increased/increasing rate of speed, and trajectory corrections.

u/Recovery_or_death 2d ago
If it were an Alien craft, it wouldn't be accelerating if its target is any of the inner planets; it would be braking at this point

u/707-5150 5d ago
Yes exactly. May. It may be a terraformed satellite on its way to repopulate the solar system. It may be a rock that’s different then our rocks so it looks differrnt.
The sensational projection in these subs can be overwhelming and may lead to the tinfoil hat opinions of us outside of our friends lol.
I agree with a lot of the proven …facts? About 3I. Just saying it MAY have a nuclear drive it like come on broooooooo. 🫠

You’re right, it very well may be, but if so, there would be signature of off-gassing.
I’m not supporting the claim, one way or another. I’m just saying, there was no claimed source. It’s likely hypothesized based on other factors.

Thanks! I still feel like you're stretching the facts a little to fit your preconceived notion of what 3I/Atlas is, which hurts your credibility slightly. I think it is interesting and intriguing enough as it is, no need to hype it even more. Let's just keep an objective and open mind going forward ok?

"If 3I/ATLAS continues to exhibit Ni without Fe through perihelion, it will constitute the first clear case where inter-stellar cometary metal emission is decoupled from classical refractory release. That outcome would argue for a distinct, low–temperature organometallic (or nanophase) pathway for Ni in extrasolar comets and could open a new window on how disk chemistry, metallicity, and irradiation history imprint on planetesimal microphysics"
you can find the document itself from Avi's article, the document says its going to be a new discovery for the most part if it keeps doing this.

Avi is getting a lot of flak over this but he has only ever speculated. He has an open mind.

u/QuantumBlunt 6d ago
Awesome thanks! I hadn't seen this one.
I'm curious as to what explains the correlation between proximity to the sun and emission of nickel. Is it simply from solar heat sublimating the nickel (which from a quick Google says could happen around 1450 degC, is it really that hot from the Sun?) or maybe just that the nickel is stored in a CO2 ice matrix and is being released as the ice sublimates?

How do you know how aliens feel? We can’t even figure out how people around actually feel but we are supposed to look at a being from another place of existence and make the assumption that they automatically hate us? I am no way ruling that out but Theres just as much a chance of them loving us so much they want to become one. We just don’t know anything.

I don’t think they hate us. I think they don’t care about us. I’m basing my statement on the way they treat abductees. They don’t ask for permission or consider the consequences of their actions, they just carry out their activities regardless because they have a goal they are trying to achieve.

Either way, the evidence is piling up that the object is technological in origin.
So if it's an extraterrestrial piece of technology, or a cloaked ship, or something like that, and I'd say that it's becoming increasingly possible; I'd say it matters a heck of a lot if it's here to enslave humans, or to save them in some way.
I'd say it matters. I'd much rather be "saved" than "enslaved" further. I can't wait to find out more by October/November/December.

u/3InchesAssToTip 6d ago
You have transitioned from:
Anomalous (and hyperbolic/fabricated) data -> Possibly non-natural origin -> Definitely technological origin -> Nuclear powered technology -> Cloaked extraterrestrial space ship
You can't build conjectured conclusions on top of other conjectured conclusions. This is how you fall off the deep end and far away from where the data is actually taking you.
32
u/3InchesAssToTip 6d ago
This is all conjecture and clearly written by someone who is skimming for convincing data points to shape a narrative.
Its composition is dominated by carbon dioxide, with almost no water — highly unusual.
Firstly, this is an oversimplification.
What was actually measured is the coma of the object. The composition of the coma can only be compared to 2 other interstellar objects that have been studied, Oumuamua and Borisov.
Something cannot be labelled as "highly unusual" when we have almost nothing to compare it to.
Moreover, water in the coma and psuedo-nucleus was detected in the 2.5-3.8 µm band depths consistently. Saying there is "almost no water" has no factual basis.
Its dust plume points toward the Sun, contrary to what’s expected from comet behavior.
Again, the conjecture here is "contrary to what's expected". And the oversimplification is "Its dust plume".
What was being observed is the dust plume of the pseudo-nucleus, and this charlatan makes this claim as though they are referring to the actual nucleus and also implies that this dust plume is related to the "tail" of the nucleus.
It is not at all unusual for the dust plume of a pseudo-nucleus to point toward the sun, because the side that is facing the sun experiences a sublimination of volatile ices, which causes an ejection of dust and gas in the direction of the sun.
This is also indirect evidence of the presence of ice on the surface of the nucleus.
It's accelerating without any visible outgassing to explain the thrust.
This is just a lie. The only acceleration is from gravity and outgassing. No anomalous acceleration has been detected.
It shows a forward-directed glow, possible radio signals, and signs of orientation control.
This is normal when outgassing on the sun-facing side is causing plumes of dust and ice particles to expell from the nucleus outward. It eventually gets pushed back by radiation from the sun, but during image captures it's normal to see this in comets.
It’s set to pass close to multiple planets, almost like a planned route.
This is clearly a speculative point. The reason it is set to pass close to multiple planets is that it is on an ecliptical orbital pattern. And yes, this is unusual, but saying something is unusual means nothing when we only have 2 other interstellar objects to compare it to.
It may be powered by a nuclear drive.
This has no factual basis.
Its surface chemistry suggests an electroplated outer shell.
Look up Stefanie Milam's "Cooked Shell" hypothesis. I think this is the most plausible explanation.
The pattern I'm seeing here is that you're just taking someone on X's word for it. No research of your own, only taking conjecture and drawing further conclusions on top of it.

u/Inevitable-Wheel1676 6d ago
Just real quick as a simple jumping off point:
Do any of us actually know what an interstellar starship or vessel would even look like? Do we know what it would be constructed to emulate or how its architecture might look?

u/Medallicat 5d ago
We have no idea.
Nor would we have any idea on whether such craft travelling over vast distances for how many eons outside of our star system would accumulate debris to the point of it being unrecognisable as anything other than a rock coated in dust, minerals, ice and metals.

I'm not going to get hyped or start to believe in any non-human intelligence origin until something is verified. Odd anomalies are expected with Interstellar objects, they were created in different areas of the universe in which we have never been too. We can't know what's out there based on simply what's in here.
We get a communication or if this thing changes trajectory on the other side of the sun, then I'll be like everyone else across the planet, shocked, worried, excited, anxious.
Otherwise it's a rock, or ice, dry ice?

u/TheRealTeague 5d ago
Imagine if it's an alien craft drifting through space on a random trajectory set out hundreds of thousands of years ago.
No crew or intelligence within, just the wreckage of a war fought millenia ago in an interstellar war we'd have no clue about.
Aside from flights of fancy, it's entirely possible in theory that the object could be of alien design but might be long forgotten or even a derelict craft.

u/Amazonchitlin 5d ago
If you haven’t, I suggest reading The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven. It’s fiction, but very similar to what you’re talking about.
A little synapses: it’s the distant future. Humans have colonized across the galaxy. No alien contact was ever made.
Then a ship shows up. It’s ancient. It’s first contact.
It goes into the struggles with first contact politically and culturally.
It’s a slow burn at first, but really comes into its own once they make contact.

If it isn’t natural then it is most likely a probe and not something with living beings onboard. So, I don’t think it would be a first contact type of situation but it may be something that enables humanity to actually realize that there is other life out there.
If…

Better question; if 3I/ATLAS is just a comet, can we stop finding every little tiny flicker of a speck of dust that might potentially look slightly like something that may or may not resemble what you think an alien craft could look like?
TL;DR - If it ends up being just a comet, can we assume science first next time and then alien stuff once we have appropriate reason to do so?

It’s probably a federation ship or we better pray it is, it passes by Mars in October/November and then goes behind the sun, which Dr Loeb suggest maybe a tactical move and could come to earth anytime after Jan /feb of 26. Interestedly, Chris Bledsoe and many people have pointed to a certain planetary alignment that occurs in April of 26 as the starting point of the accession or awakening. Bledsoe explains April prediction

u/Confident_Cat_1059 5d ago
What if it stays on the opposite side of the sun?! Can you imagine the collective anxiety if it doesn’t appear on the other side? Like it puts itself in our orbital plane but stays just out of sight? I was also speculating to my partner that it would be scary if it’s in its way to become a second new and improved “moon” and the way it is coming into our solar system, gently making its way to orbit earth as to not cause too much disturbance… I know it will be nothing like that but I have definitely thought of a story with that as a focus lol

u/Alternative-Text5897 6d ago edited 6d ago
I believe we already ‘made contact’ in 2017-2018 with the one that came from the Pleiades. Oumuamua or the first interstellar object to be detected. That was around the same exact time I had a profound ufo experience while observing the Pleiades constellation while not knowing that is what I was looking at in the night sky. Ironically also right around the same time we had 6 planets forming a conjunction in the night sky, and also that total solar eclipse over the USA, so the celestial events around that year were off the charts abnormal.
If I had to describe the event it was like I was watching the star cluster and UFOs were using it as a wormhole portal to enter our space in real time. Of course that’s likely not what was happening but I believed it so much I sat there watching in fascination for over an hour until random green lights or orbs across my immediate ground level started appearing both in the field and the tree line before me. Then moments later, a random star light slowly/steadily rose above the tree line and stayed still as if a satellite/star had just decided to move and become stationary.
Was honestly the wildest experience I’ve had probably ever. And haven’t seen anything like it since. Wasn’t even in a known ufo hotspot. If I had to sum up the experience it was like the universe was communicating that we aren’t alone. Pleiades is our ‘creator’s’ origin and we are just the seed species sent here to colonize a distant planet (?). Could be why the world has seemingly gotten much stranger since 2017-18. We made contact with the source but those in the know will not disclose
As far as all the supposed UFO sightings here on earth—that is guaranteed some pre-Atlantis race of beings that live underground or within mountains who have that technology. Hollow earth theory went popular then was astroturfed right after with flat earth theory soon after. Surface beings are led to believe our civilization/timeline is absolute. Probably because we aren’t spiritually evolved enough to be join the ones who exist underground. I mean when I look around, it makes sense as a theory

* It is going at an entirely expected speed
* It is offgasing explainable bi-products of having drifted through space for billions of years
* Seems pretty unnecessarily big to be a construction
* It is exactly the temperature we expect it to be, dead cold natural object. Life is hot, rocks are not.
* Its current path will not intersect Earth's orbit
Yes, there are things we cannot explain about 3i/atlas, but that is because we haven't seen many of these things.
Its temperature is the true tell.
The only argument for it be that cold is "stealth", which then its apparent size/luminosity makes no sense.
Any actual craft making use of delta-v tech to slow down would shine like a beacon in the infrared.
