The SETI Institute confirmed that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS shows no signs of alien technology, based on radio scans conducted by its telescope in Northern California. Scientists concluded the object is natural after analyzing its characteristics.

The SETI Institute conducted radio scans of the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas and found no evidence of alien technology. The comet, the third known interstellar object to enter the solar system, was observed by NASA spacecraft but showed no technosignatures. Over 74 million radio signals were detected, but nearly all traced back to Earth or Earth-orbiting satellites.

The SETI Institute conducted radio scans on interstellar comet 3I/Atlas and found no evidence of alien technology. The comet, identified as a natural object from another star system, is the third known interstellar visitor to the solar system. NASA spacecraft observed its closest approach to Mars and Earth in 2023.

The Pentagon is releasing declassified files on UFOs and Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, provides analysis on CBS News. The release of these files marks a significant development in the study of Unidentified Flying Objects. Seth Shostak's expertise is sought after to understand the implications.
