Abstract

The article focuses on interstellar objects like 1I/‘Oumuamua, 2I/Borisov, and 3I/Atlas, and Avi Loeb, a Harvard astronomer and head of the Galileo Project, whose controversial hypothesis suggests some objects could be extraterrestrial technologies rather than natural bodies. Topics include the unusual physical and chemical characteristics of these objects, Loeb's public outreach and search initiatives, and scientific debates over natural versus artificial explanations.
