"Harvard scientist says interstellar object on course for Earth could be nuclear-powered in latest wild claim"
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15021273/harvard- scientist-interstellar-object-heading-Earth.html
"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."

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/.

Avi Loeb sees Little Green Men in many phenomena.
In 2017, he suggested ʻOumuamua was artificial.
In 2014, he claimed that meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08
was from an extrasolar source, and later in 2023,
a claim that he'd recovered material from it from
the ocean floor, and that it could be the remnants
of a extraterrestrial starship.
Now he's claiming that 31/Atlas may be another
interstellar craft.
He seems a bit of a sensationalist.
