In Britain, they told about Hawking's prediction about an invasion from outer space

British scientist Stephen Hawking's prediction of an "alien invasion" may come true due to the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object moving towards Earth. The British newspaper Daily Mail writes about this on August 3.

"Hawking, the famous theoretical physicist who died in 2018, warned the world that contact with alien life could end in disaster for humanity," the article says.

It is noted that Hawking's words have become even more relevant after Avi Loeb, an astrophysicist from Harvard University, suggested that the mysterious object that will approach Earth this December may be a hostile UFO. According to Lobe, 3I/ATLAS has signs that it was created artificially.

Before his death from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 76, Hawking stated that people should react with caution to any signals sent to Earth. He warned that if humanity meets with an advanced civilization, then everything may turn out to be similar to how Native Americans first met Christopher Columbus.

Earlier, on August 2, Loeb announced that the potentially dangerous interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could reach Earth by the end of 2025. According to him, this object may turn out to be an alien ship capable of carrying a probe or a weapon.
