NASA Detects Unusual Maneuver by Alien Spacecraft 3I/ATLAS

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has performed a maneuver while approaching the Sun, showing the first evidence of non-gravitational acceleration.

The report states that "the radial acceleration from the Sun is 135 kilometers per day squared" and "the transverse acceleration relative to the direction toward the Sun is 60 kilometers per day squared". This unusual maneuver was recorded at a distance of about 203 million kilometers from the Sun.

Unfortunately, we cannot observe 3I/ATLAS from Earth at this opportune time, which raises the question of whether its trajectory was fine-tuned by extraterrestrial intelligence? - Avi Loeb, Harvard astrophysicist

Avi Loeb wrote in his blog that the object 3I/ATLAS, passing through the Solar System, had chosen a strange trajectory consistent with an Oberth maneuver.
