COSMIC “BEEP-BEEP” OR SPACE SPYWARE?
Top-secret telescopes (the kind NASA swears don’t exist but totally do, hidden in a giant Walmart satellite dish in Nevada) picked up the signals when 3I Atlas cruised past Earth’s neighborhood like a cosmic door-to-door salesman.
“They’re mathematical, organized, and a little smug,” said one anonymous astronomer before being immediately escorted off-site by men in sunglasses and replaced with a cardboard cutout.
The pulses intensify when 3I Atlas aligns with planets, which has led some paranoid insiders to suspect it’s scanning us like a checkout barcode. Price check on aisle Earth: one fragile civilization, heavily discounted!
Meanwhile, during Atlas’s infamous “anti-tail” phase (cosmic speak for backwards comet day), the object emitted frequencies no natural body should produce — unless nature has recently gotten Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an unlimited data plan from Verizon Galactic.
Experts believe the patterns resemble everything from Morse code to techno remixes, with one decoded message allegedly spelling out: “BRB LOL”.
Even scarier, classified leaks claim one burst perfectly matched the jingle from a 1980s TV commercial for Mr. Clean. Some now fear Atlas isn’t just a comet — it’s a cosmic advertisement satellite, preparing to bombard Earth with interstellar pop-up ads.
“It’s either alien spyware or the universe’s worst DJ,” said Dr. Zeke Flannery, self-proclaimed “space psychic,” before putting a colander on his head “for protection.”
