3I/ATLAS Revisited: Loeb's Panspermia Hypothesis Sparks Debate, Yet Remains Unproven
To the point
Avi Loeb proposes that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could have carried organic material and even seeded habitable planets as part of a panspermia idea, but this remains a hypothesis and most scientists favor a natural, comet-like origin, so 3I/ATLAS should be seen as an unusual interstellar visitor rather than proof of alien technology.
