Right now
The most recent data we hold from NOAA arrived 3 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 10 July 2026 at 05:00 UTC. It is kept here as a record.
It is the 67th strongest of the 551 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 10 March 2026. The last comparable one was on 9 July 2026. 46 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.
