Is the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Alien Technology?
Adam Hibberd, Adam Crowl, Abraham Loeb, 2025. arXiv.
Described by its authors as "largely a pedagogical exercise": notes 3I's close passes to Venus, Mars and Jupiter and its low retrograde inclination, hypothesises a technological and possibly hostile origin, and predicts what manoeuvres such an object would make near perihelion. Posted 16 July 2025.
What it's used for here
The artificial hypothesis for 3I, as its authors stated it.
