The SETI group looked for alien life on a comet. They found it is completely natural and has no alien tech.

Scientists found this object, 3I/Atlas, last summer. It is a comet that came from another star system.

Several NASA spacecraft watched this icy space rock. It flew past Mars in October but stayed far from Earth.

SETI used a special telescope to listen for signals. All the signals found came from Earth or Earth satellites.

Finding these signals shows our technology can detect them. The comet is now leaving, never to return to our sun.
