Is anybody still looking at 3I Atlas? The most recent observation I can find is from February.

Looking to refute some wild "it's parked by Jupiter" theories but not sure where to find recent data. Best I've found is February: https://noirlab.edu/public/images/iotw2624a/

Can anybody point me at where to look? Or maybe are people making observations but they're caught up in peer review or something?

Extremely weird cooking challenge to settle an argument! Can you make a fake alien body out of bread dough and chicken skin?

I anticipate this is gonna be way TF too weird for this sub and that's fine, mods pls feel free to remove if so.

But in case it's not, who wants to help settle an argument! This here is, supposedly, an alien body found in Siberia in 2011 (warning, kinda gross!): https://ww.reddit.com/r/AlienBodies/comments/1tj3qc3/this_is_real It's about a foot long or so, more detail in the original video. The official debunk is that it's made of clay and bread dough covered in chicken skin, a hoax perpetrated by a couple of teenagers. Here's, supposedly, one of them making some dough in order to demonstrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSwj4bkMEg&list=PL4A754F2E0FEA747A&index=12

My stance, as a weirdo who takes things like this seriously: chicken skin doesn't look that smooth or grey or translucent, and that shape would be very hard to make out of dough.

The opposing stance: sure it does.

What say you, bread wielders and chicken skin wranglers? Could you recreate this?

Also fair warning, I may link this thread from r/alienbodies discussion so pls be aware that replying runs the risk of getting comments from skeptics and believers alike, both of whom can be pretty toxic, unfortunately.

Thanks!
