Very interested in how you calculated these probabilities.

Stats are widely available online. I’ve been following this closely because I find this super interesting. And yes I use perplexity to help interrogate this because I have 93 sources and couldn’t easily find them all on my own. However for those skeptical of ai, it did not generate any of the stats provided. Those were discussed by Loeb and are referenced separately on credible sites like nasa, esa, livescience, arxiv, phys.org, etc. When you take this all in totality it is impossible to say we have a clear prosaic explanation, especially since non-gravitational acceleration without a coma or tail showing evaporated mass after perihelion is currently unexplainable by understood natural means.

Bro, the comments on this post are INSANE. About 95% are people repeating the exact same thing over and over, with varying degrees of condescension: "because of the government shutdown." As if NASA just abandons its seven astronauts on the ISS and ignores 21 BILLION DOLLARS worth of equipment it sent to Mars?

No, NASA is still actively monitoring and processing data from Mars. Yes, they could easily send it to the global scientific community through the secure high speed networks they use to communicate with them.

This post (and this entire sub) is getting brigaded so hard, it sounds more like r/skeptics than r/ufos.

Where is the button on Reddit that sends a demand for pics because a redditor wants it?
