Manhattan-sized comet 3I/ATLAS allegedly executed an unusual maneuver while approaching the Sun earlier this week, fueling theories that it could be an extraterrestrial spacecraft.

In a recent blog post, Harvard scientist Avi Loeb cited a report from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory , which he claimed provided the “first evidence” of a “non-gravitational acceleration” by the celestial body.

It reportedly displayed said behavior while approaching its closet point to our solar star in a phenomenon known as a perihelion.

Loeb theorized that ATLAS’
