Unnatural? Harvard Scientists Breaks Down Why 3I/ATLAS Is So Strange | UAP Files Podcast S3E48

UAP Files Podcast S3E48 | In this episode, I sit down with Harvard astrophysicist Professor Avi Loeb to unpack the mysteries of 3I/ATLAS, the newly discovered third interstellar object to ever pass through our solar system.Discovered on July 1, 2025 by the ATLAS survey in Chile, 3I/ATLAS is already raising big questions. Why is it so unusually rich in carbon dioxide compared to water? Why did it become active so far from the Sun? And what makes its trajectory and chemistry so different from comets we’ve seen before?Prof. Loeb explains: • Why scientists are certain 3I/ATLAS came from outside our solar system • The strange composition and bizarre CO₂-to-H₂O ratio • How it compares to ʻOumuamua (2017) and Borisov (2019) • Whether its weirdness points to exotic ices, unknown cometary processes, or something even more unusual • What astronomers are watching for as it swings through the inner solar system this fallIs this just a “weird comet,” or could it challenge our understanding of planetary systems — maybe even raise questions about non-natural origins?Watch as Professor Loeb breaks it down and gives us the latest science, what’s speculation, and what’s coming next.👉 If you enjoyed this conversation, check out our earlier interview with Prof. Loeb on UFOs, UAPs, and past interstellar visitors here: Inside Harvard’s Search for Alien Technology | Professor Avi Loeb | UAP Files Podcast S3E24https://youtu.be/50uW5NrxdXUWant to support the channel?
