Deep Space Rendezvous

By Mike Curtin

I’m not an expert on any of this, but 3I/Atlas is the object that’s captured my attention lately. It’s the third interstellar object known to enter our solar system (thus the “3”). The “Atlas” part refers to the telescope that first spotted it. 

This is an unusual comet. It’s green, for one thing, which means it’s made up of different stuff than the white comets we usually see. It is composed of nickel, not iron like other comets and meteors in our solar system. It’s traveling much faster, too, and is coming in at about five degrees off the ecliptic – the flat plane where all our planets orbit the sun. Almost everything in the solar system moves along that same plane, so something coming in at an angle like that is unusual. 

And unlike other comets that have an elliptical orbit around the sun, 3I/Atlas is just passing through and will return to interstellar space, never to return.

Some people say it’s just a comet; others think it might be something more. I do know it’s behaving differently from anything we’ve seen before.

The “Wow” Signal 

One of the strangest things about 3I/Atlas is that it came from the same area of space that gave us the Wow Signal, one of the great mysteries of modern astronomy.

On August 15, 1977, the “Big Ear” telescope at Ohio State University picked up a powerful radio transmission from deep space. It was in a very narrow band, with high energy, and definitely not natural. The astronomer who spotted the signal wrote “Wow!” on the computer print-out, and that’s how it was named. 

Now here’s the thing: the Wow Signal came from the same location in space where 3I/Atlas originated. It’s been speculated that the Wow Signal was the comet’s radio message saying it was on its way.

Odd Comet, Strange Timing

When 3I/Atlas first appeared, it had an inverted tail that pointed forward instead of behind. That was interesting to astronomers. Then it passed near Mars, which started having “Mars quakes,” seismic activity from the center of the planet. Around the same time, the U.S. government shut down, meaning that, among other things, public data streams from Mars satellites went offline. 

3I/Atlas came closest to the sun on October 31st 2025, forming an alignment with the sun, moon, and earth. Earth is the planet of cycles. All Saints Day and All Hallows’ Eve are believed by some to celebrate the final destruction of Atlantis by comet strikes 12,000 years ago. 

Also, while on the far side of the sun, 3I/Atlas was hit by four large coronal mass ejections (CMEs), huge plasma bubbles with intense magnetic fields and high energy.

3I/Atlas will be closest to the earth in mid-December as it comes out from behind the sun. What happens then is anybody’s guess, but it will interact with earth and humanity, like it did with Mars and the sun. 

The Energy of the Sun

For the past two years, the Earth has been bombarded by solar storms (CMEs) and huge sunspots. We’re being bathed in that energy. I think it’s radically changing the planet. 

You can already see the effects. There’s been a lot of seismic activity over the last couple of years, just from the CMEs emerging from the sun. We’ve had massive quakes – 9.0 and above – in places like Kamchatka, Russia, along the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. 

I’ve been following a solar physicist named Stefan Burns on YouTube. He tracks how these solar bursts hit Earth and how they might be tied to earthquakes and electromagnetic activity. It’s fascinating stuff.

As for 3I/Atlas, I think it’s already interacting with the sun. Some psychics say it’s carrying “light codes” that are helping us to evolve, and raising the planet’s vibration. The sun and the Earth are conscious beings – they interact and communicate. The comet’s arrival feels like part of that conversation.

According to the channeled entity Bashar, the universe works in cycles: birth, life, death, and rebirth. Civilizations rise and fall, seasons turn over and start again. Maybe this comet is a reminder of that.

3I/Atlas is being followed by a flurry of comets that are returning to the solar system now. I find this timing interesting, and again, believe these heavenly bodies are bringing higher frequencies of ascension for humanity and the planet.

Why I See It This Way

People sometimes ask why I interpret things this way. The short answer is, for me, it’s the only way to be happy.

Forty years ago, I got sober through AA. In the 12 Steps, I learned that you can create a higher power of your own understanding. That changed everything for me. I never related to the God I grew up with, the Catholic God. But the idea of a God that is a higher power you can have confidence in, and that you can put the things you’re powerless over into the care of – that I could believe in.

That freedom opened up my mind to other teachers: Edgar Cayce, Bashar, channelers, scientists who blur the line between physics and consciousness. They all talk about the same thing in different ways – God, or the universe, is everything, and nobody really knows what it is. God is the limits of your ability to conceive.

When I look at 3I/Atlas, I don’t just see an object moving through space. I see patterns, timing, and possibility. It all depends on how you look at the information. I tell people, “If you want to see it from a positive perspective, it’s going to be positive. If you want to see it from a negative perspective, it’ll be negative.”

Whatever happens, I think it’s going to be good for the planet and humanity.
