Right now
The most recent data we hold from NOAA arrived 1 minute ago, and this point is not in it. We record detections, not passes: an absence is not proof that nothing is there.
One other detection within 20 km in the last 24 hours, 3 km from here.
This alert expired on 18 September 2026 at 14:20 UTC. It is kept here as a record.
It is the 9th strongest of the 35 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 18 May 2026. The last comparable one was on 7 September 2026. One more was recorded here in the fortnight before it.
