Every Single One Of Loeb’s 3I/ATLAS “Anomalies” Deconstructed | Avi Loeb carefully hedges the probability it’s a spacecraft around 40%, giving him plausible deniability of the bad-faith “just asking questions” variety while still making the comet sound weird enough to get him TV time and fan mail.

The man has found his grift, it’s relatively harmless alien baiting and maybe NASA can use it to get more budget in the future. You don’t have to pay attention to him.
There’s not enough evidence to warrant a 40% probability. Maybe 2% would be realistic
I hate people like this, abusing influence to fear monger the uneducated

Ahhh yes, this type of harmless speculation totally couldn’t lead to a Heaven’s Gate part 2.
The entirety of the planetary science, astronomy, and astrophysics community has also been calling him out and correcting him regularly on BlueSky.
Whats wrong with a little bit of open minded discussion/speculation with regards to new anomalous comets??
Yeah, let’s give some additional exposure to each of all those pseudo-science scammers that just trying to cash out any loud news.
