Right now

The most recent data we hold from NOAA arrived 2 minutes ago, and this point is not in it. We record detections, not passes: an absence is not proof that nothing is there.

Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.

This alert expired on 27 May 2026 at 01:45 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

It is the 7th strongest of the 17 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 1 April 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 5 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.
