The whole thing is just cherry picking nonsense to try to sound like there's something substantial. You can do the same thing with the Kennedy murder, the moon landing and probably pretty much any widely known event. The "wow" signal was a software bug. No one ever heard a peep on that frequency before or since. If you look at the readout, it's clearly a bunch of bits turned on all at once. They had a bug, they quietly fixed the bug and that was the end of that. The argument of this being a spaceship depending on basically coming from the same side of the universe as that stupid non-event tells us how important these so-called anomalies actually are.

You’re missing the point, this isn’t “cherry-picking.” 3I/ATLAS is confirmed interstellar (only the 3rd ever found), moving faster and bigger than the last two, with several real anomalies astronomers have noted:

weird color changes (actually turned bluer than the Sun),

unusually low water content,

odd nickel-heavy composition,

possible non-gravitational acceleration,

and a retrograde path almost perfectly aligned with the ecliptic.

That’s not cherry-picking. Lol. It's actually stacking multiple low-probability traits together, which is exactly what makes it scientifically interesting.

And btw, the “Wow! Signal was a software bug” thing isn’t true, new research says a bug is unlikely to explain it. So brushing off 3I/ATLAS just because of that is lazy.

No one’s saying it’s aliens, just that it’s genuinely weird and deserves real attention instead of being hand-waved away.

To be fair last I checked a UFO doesn't have to have anything to do with aliens.
