HE’S NOT SAYING IT’S ALIENS… BUT IT’S ALIENS: Astronomer Avi Loeb warns world not to ignore new comet’s potential alien threat.

“Its path in the plane, the ecliptic plane of the planets around the sun, is [aligned by] five degrees,” Loeb said. “The chance of [this happening] at random is one in 500. Its size is very anomalous … 1 million times more massive than ‘Oumuamua.” Its composition contains “nickel and very little iron, the way we find in industry rich alloys with aerospace application.” And, he said, its jet path was “not away from the Sun like comets … In July and August, the glow extended from the object towards the Sun, not away.”

This week, Loeb invited Kim Kardashian to join his research team after the reality star tweeted asking for the “tea” on 3I/ATLAS — and received a response from NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy, to the chagrin of Loeb and other critics who slammed Duffy for responding to Kardashian while ignoring an official inquiry from Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.

Everything about this is strange.
