Comet ship

 

A YouTuber who calls himelf The Angry Astronaut argues that 3I/ATLAS is an asteroid ship or comet ship. That is, a space craft disguised as a natural object. Well, I suppose that´s a way to square the circle! 

Mr Angry claims that a Bayesian analysis made by Grok gives a 40 trillion to one chance that the object isn´t artificial. Maybe this will become the go-to explanation if the mystery object doesn´t land on Earth, doesn´t do anything obviously UFO-like and just disappears into outer space again, mission accomplished. 

Note the tie-in to the Fermi paradox and the Dark Forest hypothesis. Interesting, to be sure, but I suspect this will become another nothingburger, the hype in a sense becoming more important than the comet itself...
