Kids do Legos up their nose at three.

You're in your 50s?

Yeah.

All right, here's another headline for Real News or Fake News, a segment where I read a news story that's gone viral this week, and you have to tell me if it's a real news story or a fake one that people actually believed.

NASA confirms alarming broadcast signal from interstellar object 3I Atlas as it turns around and heads toward Earth.

If you don't know much about 3-Eye Atlas, some people are calling it a comet.

Some people are saying it might not be a comet.

It might be an actual spaceship.

But it passed by its closest position to Earth back in December.

But NASA now confirms that an alarming broadcast signal has come from interstellar object 3-Eye Atlas, and it is turning around.

Astronomers tracking the interstellar object known as 3i Atlas have confirmed a surprising development.

The object appears to have suddenly altered its trajectory and is now moving back toward the inner solar system, including Earth's orbital neighborhood.

I say it's not a sudden turn.

It's more like a sustained adjustment.

which is kind of creepy.

And NASA went on to say that a narrowband radio emission was detected from 3I Atlas last week and has now been partially decoded.

Following analysis by an international team of linguists and signal processing experts, according to the agency, the transmission was not a random noise but a structured signal encoded using symbolic patterns closely matching ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform.

A writing system dating back over 5,000 years.

And researchers caution that the translation remains provisional, but the most stable interpretation of the decoded sequence reads, We observed you before you learned to write.

We return to measure what remains.
