Two Fireballs Classified as Interstellar Reignite Debate Over Meteor Rates and Possible Artificial Probes Host The Angry Astronaut reviews a new analysis by Avi Loeb and a postdoctoral collaborator identifying two recent fireballs (July 28, 2022 and February 12, 2025) as statistically robust interstellar meteors based on calibrated velocity modeling of NASA’s CNEOS data. The discussion weighs the scientific implications of an unexpectedly high rate of meter-scale interstellar impacts against speculative interpretations that some entries could be deliberate probes, possibly linked to larger visitors such as 3I Atlas.
