Siraj and Loeb infer an interstellar meteor trajectory from catalogue inputs and an assumed error model. The paper attributes uncertainty information to Heavner and quotes a reported DoD statement, with Worden, Daniels, Shaw, Mozer, an anonymous analyst and Hurd credited for distinct clarification roles. Original correspondence and classified data were not received. Conditional confidence, ordinary bound comparators, population assumptions and mass-budget tension remain. Government review does not establish researcher classified access, artificial origin or recovered material.

Siraj and Loeb infer unusually high breakup pressures for two reported meteors from catalogue inputs. IM1 reuses the earlier analysis; IM2 remains a candidate whose interstellar origin requires confirmation. Breakup pressure is a model proxy, rather than a laboratory composition measurement. Early weak flaring, corrected light-curve normalization, sensor bias and small-number population assumptions qualify the conclusions. This paper supplies no new government approach or classified-data receipt.
