And we are aware, by the way, that such an impact could endanger us.

And that's why the U.S.

Congress tasked NASA to find all

objects that come close to Earth with a size bigger than a football field, about 140 meters, so that we avoid the fate of the dinosaurs.

So we think we are smart, we can see these rocks coming, but just imagine alien technology.

It will not follow a path that you expect if it has some intelligence in it.

And that's a risk that was never attended to.

And I wrote a white paper to the United Nations and to the International Astronomical Union to develop a strategy for monitoring interstellar objects, objects that come from outside the solar system, like 3I Atlas, that could, that show anomalies that could potentially be technological in origin.

I think it's very intriguing.

Both Mars and the moon have no atmosphere, so the objects that come into them do not burn up, as I mentioned before about Earth, and therefore they serve as museums.

So any space junk that might have landed on Mars...

over the past two billion years, would not have burned in the atmosphere, it would have landed.

And we need to check the surface, even if we know that there wasn't any civilization out there over the past two billion years, because conditions are really harsh.

Mars may have collected technological debris from other civilizations because it would stay on the surface.

It's just like a museum.

Yeah, but that's not enormous because Three-Eyed Atlas, the size of Three-Eyed Atlas is at least five kilometers in diameter.

And I derived it in a paper a couple of weeks ago because

we know that it's losing mass.

So it's mostly from the side that is facing the sun.

And you would have gotten some recoil as a result of that in the opposite direction, just like a rocket.
