Right now

The most recent data we hold from USGS 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.

One other detection within 20 km in the last 24 hours, 7 km from here.

Reported by USGS yesterday.

It is the 6th strongest of the 9 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 21 September 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 7 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.
