Exact date 'alien probe' could strike Earth revealed as expert issues chilling warning
A Harvard scientist has issued a chilling warning about a mysterious interstellar object hurtling through our solar system, and says it could spell disaster for Earth.
Professor Avi Loeb, who is well-known for pushing bold and often polarizing theories about extraterrestrial life, has been tracking the object, named 3I/ATLAS, since it was first spotted on July 1.
If the object is an alien craft, Loeb warned it could be carrying a probe or even a weapon. He predicted that such an intercept vehicle would reach Earth between November 21 and December 5, 2025.
The timeline is based on calculations that 3I/ATLAS will pass behind the sun from Earth's perspective this October, a time he ominously suggested could be used to prepare the attack.
It's worth adding that experts are supposed to issue chilling warnings or they wouldn't be experts of the calibre required by the media.
Does Harvard offer courses on chilling warnings tailored to media requirements? It should do because demand is high.

Observable from Mars a tad later, if Elon can get there on time.
It can't come soon enough. Might concentrate some minds if aliens arrived and took a few billion people to mine the distant planets.
Compare 'Interstellar Object Might Hit Earth' to 'Almost Every Interstellar Object Will Just Zoom By'.
It would have to be a very slow news day before the second headline appeared.
James - he's giving it a go. I bet he'd love to take a Tesla to Mars.
Anon - and they won't apply DEI during the selection process.
DJ - and strangely enough we never seem to have slow news days now.
This 'visitor' was being discussed, with a number of theories, and possible conclusions being passed around. It was mentioned that I had been silent, and was asked if I believed in intelligent life on other planets. My response that I would be happy if there was intelligent life in that room did not go down well, even when I tried to explain Fermat's theory. I can imagine sales of tinfoil (to make hats) to exceed expectations.

Penseivat - Fermi?
Hmmm. I wonder where our current ruling class came from?

Doonhamer - a spooky thought, specially those in the background with Mekon delusions.
A mathematical equation explaining the likelihood, or not, of contact with intelligent species from other galaxies. It can be quite interesting, though not exactly light reading. Another example of this theory could be Sagan's "Little Blue Dot", which may help put it into perspective.

Of course, it was Fermi, which I had written, but it seems the dreaded autocorrect came into force, and I entered it without checking. As Capt Mainwaring would say, "Stupid boy"! Sorry about that.

Penseivat - autocorrect seems to be getting worse, Copilot now wants to butt in when I'm writing emails and predictive text on my phone can be ridiculous.
I've read some estimates of the likelihood of intelligent alien species, but distances are so vast that it isn't easy to see how communication would work other than very slowly. They ought to be out there, but ever knowing for sure seems problematic. Unless they are already here of course, there are people who think so.
