flag Indian scientist proposes eight-point framework to detect artificial signs in interstellar objects, supporting future contact mission.

flag Indian astrobiologist Pushkar Ganesh Vaidya has introduced an eight-point scientific framework to detect potential artificial activity in interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS, using measurable indicators such as unusual motion, emissions, and environmental effects. flag The preprint, published on Zenodo, offers a falsifiable, data-driven method to assess non-natural origins without claiming any object is artificial. flag It supports the upcoming Interstellar Object Contact Mission (IOCM-1), which aims to place a signaling device on an interstellar object for first contact. flag The approach is designed to enhance scientific rigor as new surveys like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s LSST are expected to increase detections of such objects.
