3I/ATLAS | Did 3I/Atlas Just Deploy Probes As Seen Near Mars?

BACKGROUND:
On the 20th of November 2025, the team M. Jäger, G. Rhemann and E. Prosperi, photographed a strange occurrence around 3I/Atlas. It appears multiple smaller objects were potentially ejected away from the main object at very high speed.

ANALYSIS:
Could these smaller objects shooting away from 3I/Atlas be probes deploying, small pieces the broke off 3I/Atlas or several satellites passing in-front of the path of the camera? Avi Loeb in a Medium post earlier today speculates these three possibilities and suggests future observations of 3I/Atlas might reveal the correct answer.

On the 4th of October 2025 I presented a sequence of photographs showing similar objects streaking across the Martian sky, these were photographed by the Perseverance Rover as 3I/Atlas was passing Mars.

Could 3I/Atlas be ejecting smaller pieces, deploying probes or might smaller objects be accompanying 3I/Atlas? The MRO HiRISE photograph of 3I/Atlas released recently could have answered this question, but due to the low resolution, this is not the possible.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel is not the run-of-the-mill free AI image upscaler. It is an expensive piece of sophisticated software used in studios and by professional photographers around the world, even NASA uses Topaz Labs upscaling technology.

DISCLAIMER:
Many or all of the anomalies/artefacts covered in this presentation may be naturally occurring geological features caused by some type of geological processes, however due to the lack of specific information from the source we can only speculate whether these are all natural or some artificial in nature.

In cases where I say an anomaly looks like something I’m attempting to clarify what I see and not specifically that the anomaly is what I say it looks like.

My intention is only to share anomalies I’ve discovered on Mars and not to convince anyone that there is or was a civilization on Mars.
