What's Alpha Centurian For Hello?

Scientists have discovered that a mysterious object hurtling through space from beyond the solar system is emitting its own light – and it’s headed right for us.
Obviously it is an alien spacecraft coming to obliterate us but officially is is known as 3I/ATLAS and while there is a strong consensus among many other astronomers that it is a comet, a lot of people think it is something a bit more other Worldly.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows that it is glowing which they put down to a hazy cloud of gas and dust that surrounds the comet’s nucleus but the puzzling thing is that the 'tail' is facing the wrong way and should be facing away from us.
They then went away and had a bit of a think and came back it is made up of rare fragments from the core of a nearby supernova that is rich in radioactive material and is emitting radiation, or that it is actually a spacecraft powered by nuclear energy, and the dust emitted from its frontal surface might be from dirt that accumulated on its surface during its interstellar travel'.
The majority of the eggheads are going with the former and describe the latter as 'unlikely' and would need stronger evidence but i say we should get a move on with deciding who we are going to take them to when they demand we 'take them to our leader'.
