3i/Atlas Update!

Since December 18, we've been publishing forensic analysis of 3I/ATLAS — the third interstellar object ever detected, currently headed for a precision intercept with Jupiter's Hill Sphere on March 16.

Here's our track record:

• Dec 18: Published threat assessment identifying 18 anomalies inconsistent with natural origin. Predicted institutions would smooth data through background subtraction.
• Jan 6: Documented CIA Glomar response classifying the object as a national security matter.
• Jan 30: Documented the TESS blackout during the opposition approach window. Called it a containment protocol.
• Feb 3: Identified the opposition surge — a brightness signature consistent with solid/metallic surfaces, not cometary dust — as the motive for the blackout.
• Feb 12: NASA paper confirmed the blackout dates exactly. Described "iterative background subtraction" — exactly what we predicted.
• Feb 14: Documented silent edits to NASA's fireball database and journal gatekeeping of anomalous findings.
• Feb 16: Project Archimedes Phase 1 complete. We independently verified the raw TESS data — it's publicly available and macro-consistent with NASA's processed output. Phase 2 delta analysis is now underway to check for sub-percent signal removal.

We publish what we find, not what we want to find. The blackout timing stands on its own. The CIA classification stands on its own. The database edits stand on their own.

29 days until Jupiter.

They were probably planning to visit SLS but saw the RAM prices and noped away. Farewell my interstellar friends.
