With 3I/Atlas now post-perijove and well out of Jupiter's Hill radius, let's check the status of some claims or concerns that were publicly made/raised as it traversed our Solar System, or as Ray described it, "....sliding" along the ecliptic plane. These observations will be deduced solely from Ray's visuals and information, simply because most of these claims or concerns are dependent upon our Visitor changing its trajectory in some way. A trajectory that looks to me to have been carefully and intentionally calculated. And of course, my opinions only.
Here are the links to Ray's videos:

3I/Atlas Will Be Swallowed By Jupiter ❎
Our Visitor is merrily making its way out of our inner Solar System right now, mission accomplished. Its trajectory does not include any more Planetary rendezvous in our Solar System, and is expected to completely leave our Solar System by mid-2029. So, despite Jupiter's strong gravity and our Visitor's very close encounter, it wasn't pulled into Jupiter's orbit.
It Will Slingshot Around Our Sun Or Jupiter ❎
There was speculation that our Visitor would use either our Sun's or Jupiter's gravity to make a swing-by and head back towards Earth, seemingly to position itself closer to our Planet in order to launch an attack (?!). Ummm....as we know, this part of the Universe has been a battleground for an eternity, our Planet was invaded eons ago, and what we see (especially) now on the world stage is a result of that.
So....

It Will Release "Probes" �
I have no idea for this one. I'm assuming they are referring to tangible, physical objects commonly deployed for surveillance or reconnaissance, a payload that can be seen and identified. I don't think it would be possible to detect that from telescope imagery made available to the public by amateur Astronomers. If that did happen and official ultra high-end telescope arrays captured the occurrence, the data would be suppressed, unless it can be spun to serve dastardly purposes. Personally, I think the payload isn't physical but energetic ~ signed, sealed, and delivered.
It Will Land On Jupiter's Moon Or Go Into Hiding ❎
The reason given for this is the same as for the previous one ~ surveillance or reconnaissance. Our Visitor did not make any stop at or near Jupiter.
It Will Burn Up After Perihelion ❎
This one is an easy NO since we were treated to numerous amateur Astronomers' data showing our Visitor still very much intact post-perihelion.
In conclusion, 3I/Atlas came in, did what it had to do, minded its own business, and is now leaving. I've already written about our Visitor setting the stage for 2026 (here) so I won't go into that again. There are still assertions currently that 3I/Atlas will make a trajectory change ~ this remains to be seen.
Namarie! 💗
