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.
One other detection within 20 km in the last 24 hours, 11 km from here.
This alert expired on 3 July 2026 at 03:30 UTC. It is kept here as a record.
No stronger detection stands among the 168 recorded within 20 km of this point since 15 March 2026 — 60 others scored the same. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 25 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.
