#3i_atlas #comet3i is a 20 km object that's just been discovered entering our solar system a few weeks ago. There are many super curious/suspicious things about it. If it's a normal comet, it's a lottery winner.

- It's entered our solar system within 5% of the plane of the ecliptic.
- It's entered from the galactic disk, meaning we didn't see it until the last moment (attacking from the sun)
- it's moving at 60 km /sec, we are unable to catch up to it with our best rockets
- it will pass very close to mars, Venus and Jupiter.
- it will pass fastest, on the other side of the sun, masked from earth, the perfect time to execute a deacceleration burn. Coincidently the best time to deploy vessels.
- it's not venting gasses as comets usually do, as far as we can tell. So it's very solid.

Combined those "coincidences" mean it's 0.02% probability it's a natural event.

It could well be a comet, but if it is, it's behaving exactly like a vehicle entering an occupied system would behave. #jameswebb is going to examine it in August.

If it does execute brake burn at the sun we will see it in our orbit, November, December this year.
And with the US smashing things with hammers, humanity will have degraded response options.
