00:00What if I told you NASA just quietly activated planetary defense tools
00:04because of a mysterious object from another star?
00:07Meet 3i Atlas, an interstellar visitor that's behaving like nothing we've seen before.
00:13It's now the first object from outside our solar system
00:16officially added to Earth's planetary threat list.
00:19Why? Because it's doing things no comet should.
00:22Scientists say it has an anti-tail,
00:24a jet of particles shooting toward the sun, not away.
00:28Even more bizarre, it might be generating its own light and glowing green.
00:32And just last week, space probes caught what looked like a giant metal cylinder
00:36coated in nickel, the same material we use on spacecraft.
00:40Harvard's Avi Loeb believes 3i Atlas could be a nuclear-powered probe
00:44performing a speed boost using the sun's gravity,
00:47a move known as the Oberth effect.
00:50NASA, ESA, and telescopes worldwide are now syncing up
00:53for a two-month-long global drill to track it.
00:56Is it a comet, or a visitor with a mission?
00:59Whatever it is, it's coming very close to the sun in just days,
01:03then vanishing from our skies.
01:05The world is watching, and this is not just a drill.
01:08really is a particular drill.
01:09Thank you for your腰 zone, this is another tool.
01:10The final bullet for volt to the sun's crash.
01:11zeros rose your hairs.
01:12The Ali in the middle is a world of zigzag.
01:13It's almost everywhere in the
01:28Using Your ancora Mirror and ubiquitous Metal beast's 80-25.
