The likelihood of aliens existing somewhere in the unierse is 1, unless you believe earth is the divine special place and not just a lucky rock. If you think we’re one in a billion, then there is at least a hundred other ones in the Galaxy.

The likelihood of anyone showing up anywhere near us ever is pretty much zero. Space is too big and the speed of light is too low . Unless they are the divine species, and that’s just too terrifying to think about.

Yeah probably a comet or asteroid.

Almost definitely a comet but it’s real weird which is cool. Trying to figure out what the comet is made of and why it’s so different than expected is probably a really interesting topic too. I’m curious what will come out of the observations.

Why would people who have advanced enough technology to travel super-liminal and disguise themselves as a comet decide to not hide themselves better? We can make battleships look like fishing boats on radar just by making them square or whatever, I’m sure there’s ways to trick cameras and radio telescopes an advanced society could sort out.

It came from within 9 degrees of a signal we got 40 years ago that might have come from a source 1,800 light years away. The aliens totally decided to come visit back in the days of the Roman Empire, waited patiently, and then tossed an object through a wormhole and made it look like a comet to make sure they didn’t startle us.

I read the first couple of lines of the article without reading the byline and almost immediately thought to myself “This is Avi Loeb, isn’t it?”
