As the world continues to wonder about the origins of 3I/ATLAS, another space object has been identified.
According to Orbital Today, C/2025 V1 Borisov was recently discovered to be positioned between Earth and 3I/ATLAS. This comet was reportedly observed at magnitude 13.8 and with a “coma spanning 2.3 arcminutes.” This comet will find its way closest to Earth on Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, and should be at a safe but observable distance.

One unusual aspect of this scientific find is the absence of a tail. As the outlet noted, this has led some to wonder whether it is like that of 3I/ATLAS and whether the two are related.
In a recent article for Medium, Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who has become the leading voice on the topic of 3I/ATLAS, wrote that “C/2025 V1 is inclined by 113 degrees…and follows an orbital plane that is nearly perpendicular to the orbit of 3I/ATLAS. Similarly to 3I/ATLAS, C/2025 V1 does not display a clear cometary tail.”
Loeb further notes that the “unknown” of C/2025 V1 is “whether it represents a technological mothership that released mini-probes into the inner solar system.”
This distinction would make all the difference as to whether this was the makings of intelligent design. For Loeb, the ultimate test of whether the two are related is whether C/2025 V1 used “non-gravitational propulsion.”

As talk of comets, cosmic signs and potential “motherships” fills the headlines, it’s easy to see how fascination with the unknown can lead many astray. The Bible warns that in the last days, deception will come from every direction. While the world marvels at objects like C/2025 V1 Borisov and speculates about alien life or technological origins, believers must remain grounded in what truly matters: Jesus Christ.
