The payload:
"
Based on the CNEOS catalog of bolide events, we identify the ∼0.45m meteor detected at 2014-01-08 17:05:34 UTC as originating from an unbound hyperbolic orbit with 99.999\% confidence. The U.S. Department of Defense has since verified that "the velocity estimate reported to NASA is sufficiently accurate to indicate an interstellar trajectory... Its high LSR speed implies a possible origin from the deep interior of a planetary system or a star in the thick disk of the Milky Way galaxy."

- wonderwonder 4y agohmm, that is a very little meteor. Good luck to the guy would be awesome if he found it but thats going to be tough.
- Sporktacular 4y agoIt's not just the orbit that's unbound and hyperbolic.
- nabakin 4y agoI wonder how many meteors were detected in that data. Are we talking a few hundred or hundreds of thousands? That would make a failure with 99.999% confidence more likely
