Perhaps, like me, you are also tired of all the UFO theories involving the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.

But regardless of that, the third recorded object from outside our solar system is a major object of scientific interest for our planet.

Starting today, the United Nations (UN) has confirmed that the Earth’s ‘planetary defenses’ will be keeping a close eye on the 3I/ATLAS.

Daily Mail reported:

“Starting on November 27, a global team of scientists with the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) will kick off a two–month campaign to track the comet as it nears our planet.

‘While it poses no threat, comet 3I/ATLAS presents a great opportunity for the IAWN community to perform an observing exercise due to its prolonged observability from Earth and high interest to the scientific community,’ the UN explains on its website.”

This will be the 8th IAWN observing exercise since 2017, occurring about once a year.

This year’s ‘comet campaign’ has long been planned.

“’IAWN had been planning to do a Fall 2025 comet campaign since 2024 to exercise capabilities for measuring the position of comets, which pose additional astrometric challenges as they appear as fuzzy extended objects compared to point–like asteroids in a telescope’s field of view,’ it added.”

This comes after NASA shut down the endless claims that 3I/ATLAS could be an alien spacecraft.

“’We want very much to find signs of life in the universe… but 3I/ATLAS is a comet,’ said Amit Kshatriya, a senior NASA official, at a press conference.”
