Preface: If 3I/ATLAS is a detector, it would observe Field-Aligned Currents (FACs)—massive electrical currents flowing along magnetic field lines toward the North and South poles.
Prediction and Imagination:
The only “alignment” on January 22, 2026 is the rare, nearly perfect straight line configuration of the Sun, Earth, and 3I/ATLAS, with Earth in the middle. The Moon’s position in its orbit around Earth does not coincide with this event.
The moon is crucial to Earth. It controls the tides of the oceans. The properties of the tides act like a controller, regulating the Earth’s rotation speed. But nobody cares where the moon will be on January 22, 2026. 3I/ATLAS has garnered worldwide attention. However, suspected UFO incidents on Earth are not limited to this. Let’s review a Chinese story, it is documented in the Tang Dynasty text titled Youyang Zazu (酉阳杂俎), written by Duan Chengshi (段成式) around 860 AD. The story, titled “The Moon Repairer,” describes an encounter between two travellers and a mysterious man in a white robe.
The story, titled “The Moon Repairer,” describes an encounter between two travelers and a mysterious man in a white robe.
Key Details from the Tang Dynasty Story
The Encounter: Two men, Zheng and Li, were lost on Mount Song at night when they found a man in thick, “snow-white” robes sleeping in a pavilion.
The Repairman: When asked where he came from, the man pointed to the moon and claimed to be one of 82,000 workers responsible for repairing it.
Advanced Descriptions: Long before modern telescopes, the “man from the moon” explained two scientific facts to the travellers:
Surface Texture: He stated the moon is not a smooth mirror but is rugged and uneven (mountainous).
Light Source: He explained that the moon does not produce its own light but only reflects the light of the sun.
Historical Significance: While ancient Chinese people primarily believed the Earth was flat and the sky was a dome (the “Tian Yuan Di Fang” or “Round Heaven, Square Earth” theory), this story is often cited by modern enthusiasts as a “pre-modern” science fiction or even an early account of an “alien encounter.
In conclusion, the discovery of new objects or advanced civilizations is not limited to the discoveries of modern scientists. They may have already been involved in our historical process.
