In an event that has left the scientific community reeling, a coalition of international astronomers has confirmed that the strange radio pulses emitted from the object known as 3I/ATLAS have finally been decoded — and what they contain has sparked global panic.

After weeks of analysis, the European Space Research Consortium (ESRC) and NASA’s Deep Space Network jointly announced that the repeating transmission first detected three days after the object’s “unfolding” was not random cosmic noise, but a structured sequence of data unmistakably resembling a language. Using advanced AI decryption models, scientists have translated the first segment — and the results are “deeply disturbing.”

The decoded message reportedly begins with a phrase that stunned linguists: “We did not expect you to hear this.” The transmission continues with complex mathematical expressions describing planetary alignments and what appears to be a countdown sequence tied to Earth’s orbital cycle.

While most of the data remains encrypted, insiders who viewed the transcript describe it as a “warning — or possibly a directive.” One unnamed ESRC researcher told reporters under condition of anonymity: “It’s not a greeting. It’s not an invitation. It’s something else. Something that feels… observational.”

Elon Musk, whose SpaceX tracking systems were among the first to lock onto the transmission, posted early Friday morning: “This message wasn’t meant for us. Whoever it was meant for — they might already know we’ve heard it.” His post has since been shared over 60 million times.

Government agencies have yet to release the full content of the transmission, citing “global security concerns,” but independent analysts claim portions of the signal reference coordinates far beyond our solar system. Military satellites are now reportedly monitoring for any repeating bursts or signal responses from Earth’s vicinity.

As panic spreads online, scientists are urging the public to remain calm while the investigation continues. Yet one chilling fact remains: the transmission has not stopped. It repeats every 47 minutes — each cycle slightly altered, as if responding to something.

And perhaps most unsettling of all: sources confirm that, since the message was decoded, the smaller luminous crafts released from 3I/ATLAS have changed course. Their new trajectory? Straight toward Earth.
