Right now
The most recent data we hold from NOAA arrived 6 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 19 May 2026 at 03:45 UTC. It is kept here as a record.
It is the 7th strongest of the 25 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 17 April 2026. The last comparable one was on 5 May 2026. One more was recorded here in the fortnight before it.
