It's hard finding a source covering this object that isn't turning it into the screenplay for Independence Day 3.

Has anyone been following this story? Any good sources that aren't saying "alien probe", "hostile alien forces",...

There's only one source saying it's an alien spaceship, due in large part because it has a light source projecting ahead, rather the typical trail behind, plus it's speed is greater than a natural celestial body.

It's due to pass us around Halloween.

You could check our NASA but as they faked the moon landings they cannot be trusted: https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/comets/3i-atlas/

I once was invited to the set where the filming was done. Pretty cool! :-)

It's been awhile since I've seen the black helicopters - are they getting better at stealth?
