  • 3I/Atlas’ quiet passing: Maybe the aliens just need gas from Jupiter after all

    3I/Atlas’ quiet passing: Maybe the aliens just need gas from Jupiter after all

    So… is everyone good?

    December 19 was the newest conspiracy day.. the big one. HUGE changes, we were told.. stay indoors and hide! The Comet is passing by! The world will be hit! Aliens will land!

    Just a few days ago we were told by the media that Comet ATLAS was going to pass closer to Earth than ever before. And when you hear that, you’re led to believe that “close” means visible. Like it’s in our neighborhood. Our backyard. Something you’ll look up and actually see.


    But no. Not really.


    “Closest” here doesn’t mean close in any practical sense. It means close in science and space terms. The closest point of its trajectory relative to us, not close enough to matter in the way people immediately imagine. We’re talking really far away.


    So we’re good, right?


    Aliens didn’t land. Although, of course, some of the seers and psychics among us are claiming a path has shifted, a cycle has changed, or that we’ve entered some new phase of existence. Maybe we did. Still feels the same to me. I don’t know about you, but there’s not much difference between yesterday and today.
    That said, there is still a mystery here.


    The more sensational idea is that this comet—or whatever it actually is, because we don’t truly know—was detected emitting a strange radio signal. That discovery reportedly happened back in October, when a radio telescope in South Africa picked up something unusual. Now that is where things get interesting, because comets don’t typically behave that way.


    The object is expected to pass about 33.3 million miles from Jupiter on March 16, 2026. After that, it should be on its merry way out of our solar system. We think.


    Unless, of course, the aliens onboard are more interested in a gas giant than us. Maybe they just need more fuel.
    It’s funny, though. We really do have a tendency to make everything about ourselves, don’t we?

    FAA Declares Emergency Order; Grounds Jets From Multiple Airlines due to Geomagnetic Storm Threat

    Weatherboy Weather  AMONG THOSE REPORTING…

    More..

    The FAA has issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) for certain Airbus 319 and A320/A321 airplanes due to potential failures of on-board control systems due to problems created by geomagnetic storms. The EAD requires replacing or modifying the software that controls the airplanes’ elevator ailerons, a critical part of the plane that controls an aircraft’s roll or banking. According to the EAD, operators must perform the work before the airplane flies again by midnight tonight. The EAD also prohibits installing the affected software on any aircraft

  • Tom Brady and his inflated clones

    Tom Brady and his inflated clones

    Tom Brady and his ex-wife shared a dog named Lua. The dog passed away back in December 2023, and we all know the heartache that comes when, quite frankly, a member of the family dies. But what many of us don’t have that Tom Brady does is the financial ability to do something extraordinary — and in this case, controversial. He was able to use, most likely, tens of thousands of dollars to, well… bring his dog back.

    Brady shared the news on Tuesday, Nov. 4, alongside an announcement from Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company he’s invested in — and the same company that cloned his beloved Lua.

    The reaction has been mixed. On one hand, many of us have wished we could bring back a pet we loved deeply. On the other hand, most of us grieve and move on because that’s life. Tom Brady, ever the headline magnet, decided to cross that line. And that brings up ethical questions. Moral questions. Scientific what-ifs. And honestly… it also has a bit of a creepy undertone to it.

    Now, this isn’t Pet Sematary, and Lua didn’t claw her way back to the land of the living. This was done through modern science and technology. But still — there’s something here that feels uncanny. Like humanity stepping into a space we’re not fully prepared for yet.

    And listen Maybe we’re just old school here, but it just feels kind of icky…?

  • Avi Loeb keeps making the rounds about 3I/Atlas as NASA launches planetary defense drill!

    Avi Loeb keeps making the rounds about 3I/Atlas as NASA launches planetary defense drill!

    The comet!
    The intrigue!
    The potential mothership.

    The famed Harvard professor is continuing to make the rounds in various media circuits in preparation for next week’s near Earth encounter with whatever in the world 3I/Atlas really is..

    And this time Avi Loeb is hinting that we should be prepared for a potential black swan event!

    Reaction to Loeb has been mixed.. some love him. Some think he is punking us all.. He also divides the UFO world, even Richard C. Hoagland had tension on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis several weeks ago when Hoagland angrily asked Lewis to get Loeb on the air so he could debate him..

    But for what it is worth, many are now reporting that NASA has activated earth defense..

    According to the New York Post, this is the first time ever that an interstellar object has been zoned in on by the group in a campaign, triggering one to sharpen skills and prepare the world for a possible threat from space.

    Some of the bizarre behavior includes having an anti-tail, a particle jet that’s directed at the sun rather than vice versa, which is typically how comets flow. 3I/ATLAS also discharged a column that contained four grams of nickel per second, with no iron being present, which is unusual for comets, per The Post.

    Before you get TOO Freaked over the threat.. In accordance, IAWN will be conducting a “comet campaign from November 27, 2025, through January 27, 2026” to refine methods for pinpointing ATLAS’ exact location.

    “To prepare for the campaign, we will hold a workshop on techniques to correctly measure comet astrometry (a transformation without a change to a figure’s shape or size, such as rotation or reflection),” they wrote.
    Developing all weekend long in a space near you.

  • Scientists Say They Can’t Explain the Signal They Just Detected From Beyond Our Galaxy

    Scientists Say They Can’t Explain the Signal They Just Detected From Beyond Our Galaxy

    Astronomers have spotted a star exploding multiple times before — in this same white dwarf scenario, in fact. Instead of instantly resulting in a supernova, however, the pairs’ explosive death is preceded by a smaller blast caused by a cloud of some of the siphoned helium.

    But that type of scenario wouldn’t produce a double — let alone triple — GRB, since only one of those blasts is a supernova proper..

    So we have a mystery…

  • A resonance above all else.

    A resonance above all else.

    Did you feel the spike?

    According to people who are paying close attention to the Schumann resonance, the spike itself was off the charts today—and has been building for a few days. Strange activity has been noticed before, but today’s complete whiteout seems to signal a surge of something across the planet. Interestingly, this surge also coincides with the announcement of the Charlie Kirk suspect, Tyler Robinson, being caught.

    Now, what is the Schumann resonance exactly? Technically, it’s a set of electromagnetic frequencies generated by lightning and natural atmospheric activity, circling the Earth between its surface and the ionosphere.

    Or it’s just a load of horse manure..

    Some scientists say it’s nothing mystical at all, just a natural background hum of the planet. Others dismiss modern “spikes” being reported online as little more than misread charts, pseudo-science, or new-age nonsense. Still, many believe the Schumann resonance reflects or even influences human consciousness, and they report physical and emotional symptoms when the charts show a whiteout—headaches, brain fog, fatigue, restlessness, high energy, stress, ringing in the ears, and more.

    Whether real or imagined, what’s clear is that something vibrationally unusual happened today—and for those sensitive to such things, it felt pretty big. So, how do you feel today?

  • The light from Atlas

    The light from Atlas

    So we were not necessarily incredulous about it, we did offer some guarded doubt regarding Atlas being an alien craft…

    So … then there is this!

    It has been observed that the ‘comet’ is now generating its own light..

    In a blog post over the weekend, Loeb pointed to observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which showed a “glow of light, likely from a coma, ahead of the motion of 3I/ATLAS towards the Sun.”

    A coma is the hazy and luminous cloud that surrounds the nucleus of a comet.

    However, there’s “no evidence for a bright cometary tail in the opposite direction,” he wrote, with scientists suggesting it was evidence that dust was evaporating from the object’s Sun-facing side.

    The observations led Loeb and his colleagues to an intriguing, albeit far-fetched possibility: is the mysterious space object generating “its own light?”

    ….let’s get ready!

  • We are not saying 3I/ATLAS is an alien. But it seems like everyone else is

    We are not saying 3I/ATLAS is an alien. But it seems like everyone else is

    By now, you’ve probably heard there’s an interstellar interloper cruising through the solar system. It has been officially named 3I/ATLAS..

    This space traveler is reportedly barreling toward the Sun at around 130,000 miles per hour (yeah, that’s fast), and it’s estimated to be about 15 miles wide, making it bigger than Manhattan. So yes, this thing is big.

    Now, picture this: what if it weren’t just a big ol’ space rock with a name like a forgotten computer password, but instead a vessel carrying alien life bent on planetary invasion? (Cue dramatic music.)

    Enter Avi Loeb, the Harvard astrophysicist who made waves a few years ago when he suggested that the oddly shaped object Oumuamua (remember that 2017 cosmic mystery speeding through our galaxy?) might be alien tech.

    Well, Avi’s back. He’s written a post on Medium speculating that 3I/ATLAS might be a technological “spyware ship” in disguise. You know, just casually floating near the Sun like it’s trying not to be seen. According to Loeb, the object is currently on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which he suggests could be a deliberate maneuver to avoid detection by our telescopes.

    Oh, and even if we wanted to investigate it? Our best chemical rockets wouldn’t come close. This thing is moving too fast for us to chase it down like we’re in some cosmic game of tag.

    Mark your calendars: in November or December 2025, 3I/ATLAS is expected to pass by Jupiter, Mars, and Venus, and if Loeb’s theory has any merit, Earth might want to get its planetary defense team ready. He says responding to a potential threat of this scale would require defensive measures.

    No pressure.

    But here’s the less dramatic reality: all current evidence points to this being just a comet—ejected from some other star system like many before it.

    Even Loeb admits the most likely explanation is that it’s natural. What he’s doing is classic Avi Loeb: thinking outside the box, stirring up discussion, and maybe (just maybe) getting a little media attention in the process. People who have followed him or listened to him know exactly what he is doing. As even he said in his Medium post:  The hypothesis is an interesting exercise in its own right, and is fun to explore, irrespective of its likely validity.

    And of course, that media attention often turns into clickbait headlines like: “Harvard Professor Says Alien Ship May Be Lurking Behind the Sun!” You’ve probably seen those floating around by now.

    So, let’s calm down. Chances are, by January 2026, this comet will have zipped past us, we’ll all still be here, and the only war happening will be in the comment sections of Facebook posts.

    Unless of course… it is an alien ship.

    In which case… good luck to us all and may God have mercy on our souls.

  • Well, This Is Weird: Earth Might Have Its Shortest Day Ever This Summer?

    Well, This Is Weird: Earth Might Have Its Shortest Day Ever This Summer?

    File this under “things you don’t think about until they start messing with satellites.”

    It turns out that sometime this summer, we could experience the shortest day ever recorded—not because of daylight savings, not because of anything human-made, but because Earth itself might spin just a little bit faster.

    Graham Jones, an astrophysicist at the University of London, says our planet’s rotation is expected to noticeably speed up on one of three potential dates: July 9, July 22, or August 5. How much faster? Just a smidge—specifically, 1.30, 1.38, or 1.51 milliseconds shorter than usual. Barely a blink, and definitely nothing your body clock would notice.

    But to the ultra-precise world of GPS systems, satellites, and timekeeping infrastructure, even that tiny tweak matters.

    What’s behind the spin-up? That’s the strange part—scientists aren’t exactly sure. Earth has had minor fluctuations in rotation for as long as the earth existed, but starting around 2020, researchers began noticing that days were subtly getting shorter, more often.

    The effects—if any—on daily life will likely be nonexistent. But still, it’s one of those reminders that this planet we call home is alive in its own way. Shifting. Spinning. And occasionally doing something none of us saw coming.

    So yeah, this summer may feature the shortest day on record. Not that you’ll notice… unless your GPS suddenly does..

  • What is coming from UNDER the ice in Antarctica?

    What is coming from UNDER the ice in Antarctica?

    Anything from Antarctica is weird, right?

    Enter the fray, this:

    A group of researchers in Antarctica have found strange radio waves coming from below the ice.

    According to the results published in the Physical Review Letters, the mysterious radio waves were discovered by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA).

    During this experiment, the researchers analyzed signals traveling to Earth using a variety of instruments.

    Using balloons to send the instruments up high into the atmosphere, the goal was to gain new understandings of cosmic events throughout the universe.

    According to the release, the reason Antarctica was the site of these experiments was due to little to no interference from other radio waves.

    However, the researchers found radio waves transmitting from under the ice instead.

    MORE..

    The team compared the signals with those from other detectors like the IceCube experiment and the Pierre Auger Observatory and found nothing, indicating that what they found was not neutrinos but something else entirely. “You have a billion neutrinos passing through your thumb at any moment, but neutrinos don’t actually interact. So, that’s the two-edged sword problem. If we detect them, it means they have traveled all this way without interacting with anything else. We could detect a neutrino coming from the edge of the observable universe,” said Wissel.

    Very interesting story and mystery.. students at Penn State are lucky to have Wissel as a professor..
