Concerns have arisen in the UK that Stephen Hawking`s prediction of a potential «alien invasion» could become a reality. This apprehension stems from the discovery of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, which, according to Harvard University scientists, is approaching Earth.
Hawking, who passed away at 76, repeatedly cautioned humanity against overconfidence and urged people not to respond to extraterrestrial signals, fearing catastrophic consequences. The British tabloid Daily Mail reports that his «dire warning» might materialize in the coming months, as «hostile» alien life could be encountered.
This somber message from Hawking has recently gained renewed attention from an international research team studying the «intelligence trap.» According to the Daily Mail, a respected Harvard astrophysicist suggested that the mysterious object 3I/ATLAS, expected to reach Earth this December, might be a hostile unidentified flying object (UFO).
Avi Loeb, head of the Harvard scientific group, stated that if this interstellar object indeed proves to be an alien vessel, it could carry a probe or even weaponry. The unusually large size of 3I/ATLAS is noted as uncharacteristic for similar cosmic signatures originating from outside our Solar System.
