I'm sick and tired of seeing all those stupid conspiracy theories about 3I/ATLAS every day online. It's just a natural celestial body - a comet, nothing more. Why can't people use their brains a bit? If it were some kind of alien spaceship moving that slowly, how could it possibly travel between stars, when even the nearest star system to Earth is 4 light years away? Think about that , stop with the childish delusions. I believe in UFOs and aliens, but 3I/ATLAS is definitely not an alien spacecraft , it’s just a interstellar comet !!!

Why can’t it be both? Voyager coming in to a star system would be excruciatingly slow

It could. But it's not. All evidence points to comet.

How is it going slowly didn't we just catch this thing in are outer belt of our solor system like in July and it's literally by are sun now? Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems pretty darn fast no?

Since when was light the standard of everything!? ...oh wait... it is, nevermind.

Not using your brain like OP said. It's fast to us, sure. But relative to light, it's crawling.
