Title: “(4) These 3i/Atlas Updates Will Blow Your Mind – New Info Changes What We Thought – YouTube”Video Transcript: “A very important thing happened recently a couple of days ago for astronomy um for science. The threeey atlas was passing over Mars. So it was a perfect prime opportunity to point every single camera at this third interstellar object coming into our solar system. Okay, it was perfect opportunity to get the information, the data that we needed and we did. However, something very strange happened. The live feed for NASA just cut off and the I was watching videos about this thing, right? And I was like, surely no, it it didn’t. No, it didn’t. Really? It did it? Like really? The most important time to get information and the and the feed is cut off. Well, they probably got the information, but the feed to us cut off. So, I had to look into it. I was like, is this true? And this is just the one weird thing that’s going on about it. There’s others which I’m going to be talking about. All right. So, I had to look into this. I was like, did this did the live feed actually cut off? And according to Grock, yes, there was a NASA related live stream or at least one featuring NASA data and obser observer observations. It says here it and apparently yes, there was a NASA related live stream or at least one featuring NASA data observations of the comet’s activity focused on its recent closest approach to Mars around October 3rd, 2025. This was captured using instruments from NASA’s Mars Orbiters and rovers such as the Mars Reconnaissance and Orbiter MRO and uh and Preservance Rover with public streams and discussions peaking on October 5th. A full archived stream from the event is available on YouTube showing realtime tracking and analysis. It did stop recently, likely on October 5th, 2025, coinciding with a US government shutdown that halted NASA’s updates. data syncing from spacecraft, eg no m data since October 2nd and public feeds has uh this has fueled online speculation but is attributed to shutdown rather than any anomaly with the comet itself. Observations continue via non US assets like ESA’s Mars Express with potential data releases releases expected soon. So, yes, NASA’s feed did shut down, but they’re saying, well, look, it’s also being viewed from other live streams as well. So, please don’t speculate. Don’t don’t come up with some wild explanations. But it is strange that the that that feed was cut down by the government. It was like a government shutdown. That is odd. Now, 17 hours ago, Avi Loe, the person that has been talking about this, the scientist has been talking about this, just put on his um blog uh the interpretation of the strip in the new image of three Atlas from the Perseverance rover camera. So basically there’s this there’s this photo going around at the moment of the threeey atlas literally looking like a strip like a like a a rod. Okay, which is making people go absolutely crazy saying this no longer looks like a comet. This doesn’t look like a comet at all. Right now this is his explanation of why it looks like what it is. Okay. So he says here the the image shows an an elongated strip which is about four times longer than it is wide. The strip raised questions on social media as to whether threeey atlas is a large cylindrical object. I asked for my I was asked for my opinion about this puzzling image by rep. Anna Paulina Luna and so I immediately worked out the following numbers. Basically he goes into the ins and outs of the um the nav cam. Okay. And basically because of its however it’s built and the time it actually took to take the photo over a space of time, you’ve basically got a stacking of images that is now created the um the comet to look longer. I I saw these and I was like, why is that familiar? Why does it look like that? And it reminded me of the picture on NASA website. It reminded me of this picture here. And I’ve got it here. So this is the threeey atlas and these are stars. And again with the long, let’s just call it long exposure. Instead of stacking the pictures, let’s just call it long exposure because of the long exposure. These are actually stars, right? And the camera at that moment in time was tracking the threeey atlas. So hence why the threeey atlas is not like a long streak but the stars are. So the camera’s like that tracking the stars are moving around it but the you know the threeey atlas is stationary. Hence why you’ve got these these here. Okay. Um so I just thought I’d throw that in there. Anyway, so that’s that explains that it’s not a long rod. Okay. However, I’m going to jump back to that in a minute because there’s a YouTuber that has actually taken a snapshot and not a 30 second and this is the shape that he’s managed to find. This is really peculiar because they f he first thought when he saw it, this is odd. This seems like an like an artifact, right? Listen to this. The YouTuber is um Dobsonia. Now, please make sure you go to his channel, subscribe, and do the thing because I mean this guy’s telescope is phenomenal and it’s managed to capture incredible pictures of Freeey Atlas, man. like like millions and millions of miles away from us. This is incredible. But what’s even more credible is what he’s captured and the shape of this thing. This is strange. Take a look. The second day I said this this is an artifact for sure. I will clean this today and I I thought I will clean this will disappear and tomorrow today I will show them well it was an artifact. But uh everybody from the mainstream he said he said to the people that was posting the pitch, he said it was an artifact. It’s not an alien and people just don’t care. And so just to recap there, the first day he produced this image, right, he publicly said to people it’s an artifact. So you got one half of the community saying, “Oh my god, look at the shape of this thing. Oh my god, this is absolutely crazy.” And then the other people say, “Well, no, hang on a second. He says it’s an artifact. Shut up. Don’t listen to them. It’s an artifact.” But now this is the following day when he’s tried to find this anomaly. Find this artifact. Get rid of it. Clear it. Whatever. He’s found out that it’s not. Today I’m watching this and I don’t know, man. I don’t know what to say to you because it’s cleaner. the image. It’s cleaner because I cleaned it. I cleaned that object is like this. I cleaned this. I unscrew. I cleaned inside both sides. I took this part uh on the top. I cleaned I took the diagonal which is something that I have there like this. It does a diagonal with mirror inside and some crazy stuff lens. I was there carefully cleaning. I put that in the diagonal and I cleaned all of that. I put this in the bottom of the telescope tube that was uh without anything. And I tried to clean everything with this pressure. I cleaned the top of it and I cleaned the camera, the sensor, everything. I just didn’t open the camera all the camera to go inside because when I we open it can get grab more dust and it was clean. Man, I will now knowing a little bit about cameras, DSLRs, you know, um cleaning the sensor is more than enough. Like that is the last thing you can clean the lens like at the front, right? You can take the lens off and clean it. I mean, obviously he’s not he’s not talking about DSLR, right? But the final thing is like the sensor that captures the actual image, right? So, it brings me on to the next part of this video, which is a little bit early. I’ve had to sort of scan through his um his uh stream here. It goes on for 2 and 1/2 hours. So, I suggest you go and check it out, right? With his tail here. It has a tail. Some people were saying that it looks like that fish. You know, he’s picked out a tail on this thing. Now, in a second, he’s going to enhance it. Has this comet thing got a tail? What’s the name in English? Let me check. Ray. Could it be the ray? Stingray. Can you zoom? Yes, I will. I will. Let me just first uh get an overall picture and balance this man. But yesterday and I cleaned everything. You can see the tail here. I will pull the the the picture. I think it was more here. No. And we had another artifact here that disappeared. I cleaned everything. I I think we notice more a cleaner view. Man, don’t tell me that. Uh hold on. Let me pull the picture. So he’s picked out which you can see here like a a tail of some sort maybe. I mean, you know, you could sort of say that this is a tail. You could say that that’s a tail, you know. Um and he does zoom in and and enhance it a little bit more. And I got to be honest with you, it does look like a tail. This the next part is very strange because what he’s doing now, he’s thinking, “Hang on a second. This was over here yesterday. He was thinking it was in a different location. And this is brings me on to the other theory or or the other idea that people have been going on the internet saying that the three eye atlas has stopped. Reports are that the three eye atlas has stopped near Mars. and it could be the same position. So he’s realized that it’s the same position. It’s the same position. It’s not moved. But what has moved is the angle of this this arrow with the tail is pointing this way. Yeah. And then this one is pointing upwards more. So, it’s actually rotated. It’s pointing up today. You see that? Looks like it has a a tail here or something. But this was the other day. We’ll wait. It will wait because this is We’ll wait. It wi Thank you. Thank you. talking about how this threeey atlas he’s picking up, he’s claimed to be the right? I’m assuming somebody with a big looking at in the sky. I’m assuming. and like a effing great big telescope front back garden. I ain’t got a bloody streaming on it. So, subscribe. Um, It rotated. open it up and clean the lens and all there maybe didn’t get cleaned, but it know. I don’t know. But it’s odd. Now, digitally enhanced using AI thinks that this comet would look like. Yes, it’s the infamous threeey atlas. gets, the more unexplainable it becomes. its way towards us that professors and alien technology. Well, a literal photo of the object yet. Somehow better And let me tell you, this thing does not I mean I mean AI had to break some sweat this tail bit all about? Right. This is It looks as though um I’m not too sure. According to this YouTuber, it did. It was looking at, though. I’m I’m guessing with his with his telescope. Um, is that there’s so many questions, right? But other live feeds were watching this decide. I’m just trying to show you what figures that I’ve managed to to find. interesting grasping hold of the idea of was on this interview Okay, listen to this. it’s just a comet. Of course, they’re that comets just don’t do. No comet us now to answer that question, Harvard the House Oversight Committee and hearings just last month, Tennessee great to have you back on. Dr. Lobe, I an important date in this threeey atlas what are we now learning about this is worth a thousand words and we are images of three Atlas when it comes There are several orbiters, one that was a camera uh this camera is called three Atlas with a 30 kilometer per more about it uh in the coming days and you know science is fun because we can seven anomalies of this unusual object. all the the size of Manhattan Island. the previous interstellar comet. About There is there was a jet coming out of cometary tail that usually goes away chemical composition containing mostly polarization of light never seen before Atlas is aligned with the plane of the time was fine-tuned to come very close Venus. And you know and also I noticed was coincident with the direction from signal back in 1977 that was called the Now this is where the bombshell hits and and it comes from that direction comes from that direction in the solar you just heard all of that. Um Dr. Globe should be looked into. We’re going to from Mars of this thing, they unless the they could do. Have you been briefed on I have not. And I tell you, the one of what he said. You know, we can learn these arrogant jerks out there that actually enjoys explaining it to folks movement. Um, and he’s also a pretty tough stands with his scientific data. back that up as well what Tim said saying that Avi Lobe is and you know he’s the one responsible here because he’s not saying that. He’s thought process of let’s not rule it rule it out. Remember, he’s classified right? 10 being alien, zero being not. not saying, “Oh, it could be an alien. it’s got charact it’s not it’s not got comet. There’s something else which is um anomalies that he’s he’s been talking Yeah, this is this is the kind of thing got to wonder what our scientific doing right now. Um, I realize there’s a before the shutdown. And I And this thing is heading our direction. about one other issue while I have you. received intelligence perhaps deep water alien bases right now planet. Is that accurate? you go into more detail? How long have Well, I I’m extrapolating all this with we’ve got five five or six deep water actually know more about the surface of these areas. And these are areas where sightings. We’ve had naval folks have actually tracked these things. Now, we probably 30 to 40 m an hour, maybe Chinese haven’t stole from us yet. And field going 200 m an hour. Now, I that to knots and all that, but just for sense, 200 miles an hour or something we don’t know what it is and these are something going on there and whether millennial or whatever, I’m, you know, of like Dr. Lo, I love to study this material there is is we again he’s the found that were extraterrestrial in our I believe to come forward with those. So more talks about this. But I’ve really I because it was just in a casual discussed it. It wasn’t in a classified I always remember the last thing this left my office. We got He was right barn right now and he said he said, Uh Dr. Loe, hopefully these images come thing is. dropped when talking about the Threeey that leads me on to another video. far. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope that you so much for watching. I hope you”Video Summary:

Here’s a **clear breakdown of that video** you posted about 3I/Atlas (the third interstellar visitor) and the hype swirling around it:

—

## 🛰️ What Actually Happened

– **Closest Approach:** 3I/Atlas passed Mars around **Oct 3, 2025**, the best vantage point for all Mars-based orbiters and rovers.
– **NASA Feed Cutoff:** Public-facing NASA streams stopped updating Oct 5 because of the **U.S. government shutdown** (no social media updates, no public data uploads).
*Important:* spacecraft are still collecting data; the shutdown just halts public releases and syncing.
– **ESA & Others:** The European Mars Express and other *non-US* assets continued observing. ESA has said data releases will come “soon.”

—

## 📸 The “Rod” Image & Avi Loeb’s Explanation

– A Perseverance rover **NavCam** image shows 3I/Atlas as a long strip, ~4× longer than wide.
– Loeb explained: this is a **camera artifact from long-exposure/stacking**. The camera was tracking the comet, so stars streaked while the comet stayed point-like. It is *not* a giant cylinder.
– This is the same phenomenon behind NASA’s own comet pictures where stars look like streaks.

## 🔭 Dobsonia’s Backyard Telescope Mystery

– A YouTuber “**Dobsonia**” (with a high-end scope) initially said his weird elongated shape was an **artifact** (dust/lens issues).
– He **cleaned** everything—diagonal, mirrors, sensor—and the shape persisted in later images.
– Now his latest cleaned images show:
– An apparent **tail** (“stingray” shape).
– Slight **rotation** of the object between nights.
– But he’s still unsure whether it’s real or some residual imaging quirk.

This is feeding two camps:
1. “It’s an alien ship!” crowd.
2. “It’s still an artifact or a normal comet” crowd.

## 🧪 What’s Scientifically Known So Far

– **Cometary Tail:** Multiple observers report a tail. That’s normal—comets sprout tails as they warm up.
– **Rotation:** Comets do rotate; nucleus orientation + tail direction can appear to shift nightly.
– **“Stopped” Near Mars:** Orbital data show 3I/Atlas moving exactly as expected. It hasn’t “parked” at Mars; only its tail orientation changed.
– **Avi Loeb’s Position:** He’s not calling it alien—he’s saying, “don’t rule out anything yet; gather more data.” Classic cautious science stance.

—

## 🚨 The Speculation Fuel

– **Feed blackout + weird images = viral conspiracy theories.**
This is the same recipe as with ‘Oumuamua in 2017—long shape + anomalous behavior + limited data = alien chatter.
– **“WOW signal” direction:** Some are noting 3I/Atlas’s path roughly coincides with the 1977 “Wow!” radio signal region. This is fun trivia but not evidence of anything.

—

## 📝 Bottom Line

– 3I/Atlas is the **third confirmed interstellar object**; it’s genuinely rare and exciting.
– The “rod” shape is a **camera artifact**; the “stingray tail” is likely a real tail seen at odd angles.
– The NASA stream blackout is bureaucratic, not cosmic—other agencies are still observing.
– We’ll get **ESA images** and full data later this month once the shutdown ends or ESA processes its files.

Until then, skepticism > hype. The universe is weird enough without jumping to alien ships parked at Mars.

Would you like me to compile a **timeline of 3I/Atlas events & anomalies** (dates, observations, images) so you can track the whole story as new data drops? (Would make a good “Book of Rick” appendix.)
