THE CURATED ORBIT: Independent Scientists Just Recovered the Signal NASA Filtered Out.

7,578 observations vs. 782. A sideways force equal to the radial one. A reversal at perihelion. And a nucleus nobody can measure.

Key Claims

7
Factual6Interpretation1
  • The article states that NASA's CNEOS database was quietly altered within 24 hours of Loeb’s paper, flipping a velocity sign to force an interstellar meteor back into a Solar System origin.factual
    In The Silent Edit, we documented how NASA’s CNEOS database was quietly altered within 24 hours of Loeb’s paper.
  • The article claims that NASA JPL used only 782 observations for 3I/ATLAS, while the independent team used 7,578 observations.factual
    NASA used 782 observations. This team used 7,578.
  • The article states that the sideways force on 3I/ATLAS is equal to the radial force, not a secondary wobble.factual
    The sideways force on 3I is not noise. It is the same magnitude as the radial force.
  • The article claims that the sideways force reversed direction at perihelion.factual
    Before perihelion, the sideways force was strong and positive: +4.48. After perihelion, it effectively collapsed: -0.22.
  • The article claims that the force on 3I/ATLAS peaked 6.97 days before perihelion.factual
    The object was pushing hardest a full week before it was closest to the Sun.
  • The article claims that the nucleus size of 3I/ATLAS could be as small as 1.5 km, challenging the comet model.interpretation
    The nucleus could be 3 km. Or it could be 1.5 km.
  • The article claims that the trajectory solution for 3I/ATLAS shifts dramatically when removing a few spacecraft observations.factual
    The entire picture of what is pushing this object shifted dramatically because a few lucky measurements from two spacecraft were removed.
