The world is abuzz after a shocking claim by a Harvard University scientist, suggesting that aliens could attack Earth on October 29, 2025 — just seven days from now. The claim, made by Professor Avi Loeb, an astrophysicist from Harvard, has stirred intense debate among scientists and space enthusiasts alike.
According to a report by Daily Star, Professor Loeb believes that a mysterious interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS, first detected on July 1, is not a normal comet, but possibly alien technology. The object, roughly the size of Manhattan, has been moving rapidly through space and is expected to make its closest approach to the Sun on October 29.
Loeb warned that if the object is indeed an alien spacecraft, “it could launch a surprise attack” during that time. He even went as far as saying, “If you want to go on vacation, go before October 29 — who knows what will happen after that.”
What Makes 3I/ATLAS So Mysterious?The object is estimated to weigh around 33 billion tons and is traveling at nearly double the speed of any previously observed interstellar body. Most intriguing, it is releasing nickel tetracarbonyl, a metal alloy compound never before seen in comets or natural celestial bodies.
“This material has only been observed in man-made industrial processes,” said Loeb, suggesting that the object could be artificial in origin.
While Loeb’s claims have set social media and scientific forums ablaze, other experts remain unconvinced.
Oxford University astronomer Chris Lintott dismissed the theory as “utter nonsense,” calling it “an insult to genuine scientific efforts to understand the object.”
In an official statement, NASA clarified that 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth and will safely pass through the solar system. However, the agency acknowledged that such interstellar objects are rare and worth studying closely.
Despite NASA’s assurance, Professor Loeb’s warning has ignited a global conversation — raising two age-old questions once again:
Are we truly alone in the universe?
And if not, are we ready for what’s coming?
