Avi Loeb, Ph.D. | Do They Come in Peace? The 3I/ATLAS Mystery | Part 1 | Sept. 19, 2025

Source: VERITAS7.com



Description:
Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Avi Loeb, Ph.D. Harvard astrophysicist and visionary thinker whose bold ideas have ignited debate and curiosity around the world. Known for challenging conventional wisdom and asking questions most scientists avoid, Dr. Loeb now turns his attention to an extraordinary visitor from deep space, the interstellar object 3I ATLAS, currently racing toward our solar system at sixty kilometers per second.

This Manhattan sized enigma is unlike anything we have ever seen. Arriving from the direction of the Milky Ways center, it carries only a 0.005 percent chance of being a natural object according to Loebs calculations. If he is correct, then we are not simply looking at a chunk of rock from another star system. We may be watching an artificial craft, perhaps a probe, on a deliberate journey toward our cosmic neighborhood.

Its closest approach is expected in November. Which raises the questions that have electrified scientists and captivated the public. If this is a visitor from another civilization, do they come in peace? What is their purpose? And why now? 

Since its discovery, 3I ATLAS has fueled urgent investigation. Astronomers are racing to capture every bit of data before it disappears into interstellar darkness. And while most focus on the science, an unverified online claim has added a strange twist, that a signal was received in Chile and decoded with the help of artificial intelligence. Its authenticity is unproven, but its mere existence shows how quickly mystery can ignite the imagination.

Tonight we will explore the science, the speculation, the implications for humanity, and the very real question of whether we are prepared for whatever 3I ATLAS may bring. By the end of this conversation you will have a front row seat to one of the most remarkable and perhaps defining moments in human history."

Description:
I sat down with Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, founder of the Galileo Project and former chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, to talk about his groundbreaking work searching for extraterrestrial tech. We dive into Oumuamua, his expeditions to retrieve possible interstellar debris from the ocean floor, the goals of the Galileo Project, and even get his thoughts on Bob Lazar and the Star Wars Initiative. This one goes deep.

TOPICS:
The first known interstellar traveler into our solar system came in October 2017, was flat, about the size of a football field, and was named “Oumuamua,” Hawaiian for “scout or leader in a battle.” The mystery object came cruising through interstellar space at 56,880 miles an hour not bound to our sun’s gravity. 

Without any evidence of ice for outgassing, it accelerated to 97,200 mph on its way out of our solar system. Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb, Ph.D., hypothesizes Oumuamua was perhaps an intelligent probe or derelict craft of “artificial origin” from another civilization in — or beyond — the Milky Way galaxy.
