Two months ago we predicted NASA would blind TESS during 3I/ATLAS’s opposition window. NASA just confirmed it. We verified the raw data independently. Here’s the full timeline.

Analyzing the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS: A Detailed Chronology of Recent Developments and Observations

Over the past two months, a series of investigative analyses and data reviews have shed light on the intriguing journey of the third interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS. Currently on a trajectory toward a precise encounter with Jupiter’s Hill Sphere on March 16, this object has become the focal point of close scrutiny by scientific and intelligence communities alike.

Initial Threat Assessment and Early Indicators

On December 18, we began systematically examining 3I/ATLAS, uncovering 18 anomalies that deviated from natural object characteristics. Our assessment suggested that mainstream institutions might employ data smoothing techniques, such as background subtraction, to mask or mitigate potentially sensitive information related to the object’s true nature.

Escalation into Security and Data Management Concerns

By January 6, we noted that the CIA had classified information regarding 3I/ATLAS, responding with a Glomar response—a standard method of denying or withholding information under national security pretenses. This indicated heightened governmental interest and concern over the object’s origin and properties.

Subsequently, on January 30, we documented a blackout period during the passive observation of the TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) during the object’s opposition approach window. We interpreted this blackout as a containment protocol—an intentional suppression of data during critical observational intervals.

Recognizing Unique Brightness Signatures

On February 3, attention was drawn to an opposition surge in brightness measurements—an anomaly characteristic of solid or metallic surfaces rather than a typical cometary dust tail. This suggested that the motivation behind the blackout could involve obscuring these distinctive physical features.

Corroboration from NASA and Data Analysis

By February 12, a NASA publication confirmed the blackout period precisely as we had predicted. The agency described an “iterative background subtraction” process during data processing—a technique consistent with our earlier predictions of intentional data handling procedures.

Further, on February 14, we observed and documented silent modifications to NASA’s fireball database, alongside gatekeeping practices that appeared to restrict access to or dissemination of anomalous findings. These steps suggest a deliberate effort to manage publicly available data concerning 3I/ATLAS.

Independent Verification and Ongoing Investigation

On February 16, our team completed Phase 1 of the Project Archimedes initiative, conducting an independent verification of the raw TESS data. Our analysis confirmed
