Q&A About the Observable Universe

(Image Credit: X/UFO Coin)Below is a Q&A exchange that I had with the founder of a Croatian online publication dedicated to science, astronomy, and space exploration. The questions are in boldfaced font.***With the “fuller” data now available on 3I/ATLAS, what is your assessment of the object? Which features you initially highlighted now have satisfactory explanations, and which, if any, still strike you as unresolved? How likely is it that an object of technological origin has passed through our solar system without us detecting it?3I/ATLAS displayed the chemical composition and speed of an iceberg which originated from a star that is about twice as old as the Sun. Its main anomalies are that it came within 5 degrees from the orbital plane of the planets around the Sun (corresponding to a random chance of a fraction of a percent); it displayed a major anti-tail jet pointed at the Sun and three mini-jets that are symmetrically organized around its nucleus instead of a standard cometary tail; it released organic molecules, and a deuterium abundance that is a thousand times higher than the cosmic value. It is possible that the organic molecules indicate the potential for microbial life in its deep interior or that its unusual trajectory implies that its cometary appearance represents a Trojan Horse inside of which a technological civilization planted probes inside of it, but we have no direct evidence for any of these possibilities.The Galileo Project has reported triangulation results, and you have announced a new observatory in Ithaca. What has the Project learned so far, and what should the planned combination of radar, high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy make possible that was missing before?Out of all the infrared videos released by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office in the Pentagon over the past five months, the UAP Science Advisory Council in partnership with the Galileo Project (in a paper here led by Jacob Haqq-Misra), found that 8% of the Unidenti
