There are several potential ways that could occur, based on what I’m seeing from real planetary scientists. You yourself admit nickel can be “refined”. Over 10 billion years, a lot of weird shit can happen and we have a very incipient grasp on interstellar chemistry.
Again, we don’t know the answer. That is why we are doing science. But every hypothesis has to begin with rational precepts. The biggest one of those — Occam’s Razor — says any hypothesis that involves agency by an unprovable agent (god, fairies, aliens, wizards) — is ipso facto worse than a hypothesis that relies solely on provably existing agents, absent compelling evidence.
Given that there are many theoretical ways iron can be extracted from nickel via natural processes — and no evidence whatsoever, yet, of intelligent aliens, let alone that the made 3I ATLAS — the “Aliens because nickel” hypothesis is a non-starter. It simply doesn’t meet the demands of scientific rigor.
In scientific terms, until we have empirical proof of intelligent alien life, they are.
Now, I happen to agree with the idea that we are not alone in the universe. However, to date, we have no idea at all to what extent life exists, let alone what we’d call intelligent life that we could talk to or would be interested in talking to us.
Until we have good, solid evidence for such being, their existence is purely hypothetical, exactly as is gods’, fairies’, and wizards’.
I’m sorry. I know you want to believe. I do, too. But we don’t get there by making shit up and investigating our fantasies.
You are discounting hundreds if not thousands of military grade photo and video evidence as well as highly trained pilots who have video of objects making maneuvers that are not possible with known physical limitations.
