#Putin answering a question on whether the comet 3I/ATLAS, which has been flying towards Earth for several months. could be an alien ship (my translation):
"Let’s keep this strictly between us, because it's classified information. (It's) our secret weapon. We’ll only use it in the most extreme case. Which we won’t, because we’re actually against putting weapons in space.
"Jokes aside, it’s just a comet. Our scientists know exactly what it is. It’s from another galaxy, so it behaves differently from our local comets. It has a different shell, comes closer to the Sun, some unusual processes on the surface. Even the tail looks a bit odd. Nothing mystical.
"It’s a decent size, maybe two to six kilometres. But for perspective: the Moon is 400,000 kilometres away. This thing is hundreds of millions of kilometres from us. So no, it’s not about to hit anyone."

Putin dropping comet facts with that deadpan humor is peak 2025 energy 😂 'Secret weapon' aside, love how he shuts down the alien theories while explaining it's a harmless interstellar visitor from another galaxy, hundreds of millions of km away. Classic Kremlin comedy gold! 🚀🪐 What's everyone's favorite part of the clip?
Masterclass in trolling: Starts with 'classified secret weapon,' ends with solid astronomy lesson. Putin just debunked the UFO hype better than NASA could. No collision risk, just a cool 2-6 km interstellar comet passing by. Epic! 😎
