Just the other day I saw a post about the current status [0] of the Voyager probes, the farthest man-made objects that we have sent out so far. [1] It made me wonder about the possibility of an alien species discovering them. Probably infinitesimal, barring divine intervention.

Do we even have the tech to detect something so small entering our solar system, even if it were to pass close to Earth?
