3I/ATLAS leaked actual footage shows large vessel and NASA activated Planetary Defense Network for interst
3I/ATLAS leaked actual footage shows large vessel and NASA activated Planetary Defense Network for interstellar object? A social media handle claims Japanese-released clip shows interstellar visitor is a large vessel, and at the same time, another social media handle says NASA has quietly activated its planetary defence network in response to the interstellar visitor known as 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1). This explainer summarises what is known, what is claimed and what remains uncertain.
3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object Leaked Footage and Vessel Shocking Claims
3I/ATLAS leaked actual footage shows large vessel and NASA activated Planetary Defense Network for interstellar object? A social media handle claims that a Japanese group released video showing what they describe as a “large vessel” associated with 3I/ATLAS. The claim is that the vessel is visible accompanying or part of the interstellar object. No independent verification of the footage is possible at the moment. The claim has drawn attention and discussion among amateur and professional observers. The claims of leaked footage and vessel remain unconfirmed.

3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object: NASA activates Planetary Defence Network?
NASA and the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) have reportedly launched a structured observation campaign targeting 3I/ATLAS. According to multiple unconfirmed sources, this is the first time an interstellar object has been included in a planetary-defence type monitoring drive. NASA confirms that 3I/ATLAS poses no immediate threat to Earth.— EzeemmaCraic (@EzeemmaCraic)

3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object: What we know?
3I/ATLAS interstellar object was discovered by the ATLAS telescope system on 1 July 2025. It is classified as interstellar because its trajectory is hyperbolic, meaning it is not bound to our solar system. Observations show it will pass closest to the Sun (perihelion) around 29-30 October 2025 at about 1.4 astronomical units (AU). Its nearest approach to Earth will occur about 19 December 2025 at around 1.8 AU (about 270 million km). Spectroscopic studies by James Webb Space Telescope and others report a coma rich in carbon dioxide and low in water content. Some researchers estimate the object may be older than our solar system, possibly 7 billion years old.
3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object: What is IAWN campaign?
The campaign of observation by IAWN aims to improve tracking techniques for small bodies, test planetary defence readiness and study this rare interstellar visitor. Because 3I/ATLAS is from outside the solar system, it offers unique scientific opportunity to compare materials from other star systems. It also acts as a rehearsal of sorts for how scientists respond when unfamiliar objects approach.— WorldNews_X_ (@WorldNews_X_)
3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object: Claims and controversies
The leaked footage claim connects with theories raised by some researchers (notably Avi Loeb) that 3I/ATLAS might be artificial or host alien technology. However, mainstream science remains cautious. Many researchers caution that available data support a natural origin. The unexpected features (trajectory, composition) do not themselves prove artificiality.
3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object: What comes next?
In the coming months observers will monitor 3I/ATLAS as it moves away from the Sun and Earth. The campaign will collect data on gas emissions, dust, orbital changes and physical size. Improved measurement may clarify its origin and composition. Meanwhile the leaked vessel footage remains unverified and under scrutiny.
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will reach its closest point to the Sun on October 29, 2025. NASA and Newsweek reports state that this will be at a distance of about 1.4 astronomical units (au), or roughly 210 million kilometers from the Sun.
FAQs
Does the leaked footage definitively show a large vessel with 3I/ATLAS?
No. The footage is claimed to show a large vessel, but it is not verified by peer-reviewed scientific sources and remains speculative.
Does the activation of NASA’s Planetary Defense Network mean 3I/ATLAS poses a threat to Earth?
No. NASA confirms that 3I/ATLAS poses no immediate threat. The campaign is precautionary and aimed at study and readiness.
