"A prominent Harvard astrophysicist has claimed that a mysterious object moving through our solar system could be a nuclear-powered spacecraft."

"Professor Avi Loeb, director of the Galileo Project, which hunts for
signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, said the interstellar object
known as 3I/ATLAS exhibits characteristics suggesting it is not a
typical comet, contrary to NASA’s assessment."

"One of those signs is the appearance that the object is generating its
own light, suggesting to Loeb that the light comes from a source of
nuclear energy on the 3I/ATLAS' surface."

"The light was seen in a recent photo taken by the Hubble Space
Telescope on July 21, which appeared as a glowing area focused on the
side of the object facing the sun."

Facing the sun, a bright spot on a rock could be a patch of ice.
I wish it was an alien spacecraft but other things are more likely.

This sort of nonsense actually lends credence to a certain Orange
POTUS with respect to his attacks on Harvard and other prestigious
schools.

OK, academic freedom and freedom of speech both include the freedom to
make ludicrous statements, but /really/.
