🚨3I/ATLAS Just Proved It’s Not Moving Naturally 🧵
Avi Loeb just confirmed the first evidence of a non-gravitational acceleration in 3I/ATLAS as it reached perihelion on Oct 29.
That means the object isn’t following the Sun’s pull alone, it’s propelling itself.👇

Data from NASA’s JPL navigation engineer Davide Farnocchia shows:
Radial acceleration (away from the Sun): 135 km/day²
Transverse acceleration: 60 km/day²
That’s small, but real and it’s identical to what you’d expect from either sublimation… or an engine.

If this acceleration came from normal cometary outgassing, 3I/ATLAS would lose 10 % of its total mass over the next month.
That much material should light up the Solar System with a massive plume visible to ESA’s JUICE spacecraft by early November.

But there’s a problem and that is the color.
3I/ATLAS is now bluer than the Sun, something no natural comet has ever done. Dust scattering reddens light.
Only heat, ionization, or artificial illumination would shift it blue. Right?

That’s anomaly #9 but Loeb’s list already includes:
Perfect alignment with the ecliptic
Sunward jet
Bizarre nickel to cyanide ratios
Massive core
Timed perihelion hidden behind the Sun
Now add a non gravitational push and unnatural color shift... Suss

If it’s natural, November to December should reveal massive evaporation with a visible coma, spectral gas lines, and dust trails.
If none of that appears, then the only remaining explanation is active propulsion from a self stabilizing craft.

Loeb reminds his Harvard colleagues:
“It is bad professional practice to assume the data are wrong simply because there is no theory to explain them.”
The same applies here.
3I/ATLAS is doing something no known comet should be able to do.

The closest approach to Earth will be Dec 19 2025, 269 million km.
That’s when Hubble, JWST, and every major observatory will get their shot.
If the acceleration continues, we’ll know exactly what kind of object this is.

For now, 3I/ATLAS stands as the third confirmed interstellar visitor and the first to show clear signs of self driven motion.
Either it’s a natural body with physics we’ve never seen before… or something built to travel between stars.
