3rd Interstellar (maybe) comet heading this way

Super interesting @Murrmurr! Just read that it could get pretty close to Mars.

Found this NASA site with comet 3l/ATLAS info...good graphs.

I really hope it is an alien craft. If only to get us humans to get over our arrogance that we are the smartest or only life in existence. It would be pretty sad and dull knowing we are it.

It looks like a comet and quarks like a comet, but maybe it isn't a comet.

Meanwhile, a swarm of comets is heading our way.

Here's about a dozen cases of UFO encounters from people all over the world who didn't know each other.
They didn't get fame, they got infamy. Some were miserable for decades after.
They didn't get rich, in fact, some of them lost their jobs, lost their spouses, lost friends, or their kids were estranged.

There was nothing in it for them, so why would these people lie?
