Interstellar Meteors are Outliers in Material Strength

Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. September 20, 2022.

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.
