Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has accused NASA of withholding critical evidence, warning that the agency is deliberately concealing a bombshell image of the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.
During an interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Loeb said the photograph in question was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).
The shot reportedly captured the object as it passed within 30 million kilometers of Mars, an exceptionally close encounter for an object entering the solar system from interstellar space.

Loeb, who chaired Harvard’s Department of Astronomy from 2011 to 2020, said that when he tried to obtain the data directly, his request was shut down by NASA.
“I wrote to the principal investigator of HiRISE, asking, ‘Can I get the data? I’m a scientist,’” Loeb said.
He added that he received “no response” from NASA.

“Unusual” Behavior Raises New Questions
The object, officially designated 3I/ATLAS, has displayed several unusual features that have fueled scientific debate and speculation.
Many scientists have warned that 3I/ATLAS doesn’t exhibit several traits typically associated with comets.
According to The New York Post, the object emits jet-like outflows toward the Sun rather than away from it.
Experts note that solar blasts from the Sun should push the outflows away from its surface, not toward it.
This behavior contradicts conventional models of cometary activity.
