3I/ATLAS as a Short-Lived Scientific Attention Event: A Pilot Data Note Based on Google Trends Worldwide and a Manually Coded Source Corpus
This Zenodo record contains the Hungarian and English versions of the pilot data note on 3I/ATLAS as a short-lived scientific attention event, together with the supporting pilot data package. The study examines how the visibility of a rare interstellar object can be distinguished from sustained systemic social impact. It uses a Google Trends Worldwide export, a manually coded 41-item source corpus, a weekly pilot source-frequency table, and tone-coding summaries. The pilot findings suggest that attention to 3I/ATLAS was linked to specific event windows, especially discovery, perihelion, and SETI/technosignature follow-up periods. In the manually coded corpus, scientific/natural-origin and SETI-null-result framing dominate, while speculative framing is present but secondary and risk/panic framing is not dominant. This is a pilot data note, not a complete global media-volume study. The dataset does not include full GDELT, Factiva, MediaCloud, LexisNexis, or social media exports. The conclusions should therefore be interpreted as pilot-level findings based on the available data package. GRM808EI is used in this study only as a claim-separation and methodological discipline framework. It is not used as an astronomical proof system, empirical verification engine, or decision-making authority.
