Episode notes
INSIGHT

3I/ATLAS Shows Non-Gravitational Motion

  • Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS behaved oddly but still fits comet explanations like outgassing near perihelion.
  • Non-gravitational motion was observed but can be explained by material loss rather than engineered maneuvers.
INSIGHT

Technosignatures As A Viable Hypothesis

  • Some scientists propose technosignatures for interstellar objects as probes hitching rides on comets.
  • Such probes could be remnants or autonomous devices, making radio monitoring of visitors valuable.
ADVICE

Require Case Resolutions For Crowdsourced Data

  • Vet and resolve crowdsourced sightings before using them in statistical analysis.
  • Exclude obvious prosaic cases like blimps, flares, and satellites to avoid 'garbage in, garbage out.'
