Oem Trivedi, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. January 29, 2026.
Trivedi and Loeb propose a network for discovering and characterizing interstellar objects. Their hypothetical examples and performance estimates are conditional; the paper demonstrates no deployed network, artificial object or government programme access.
■ Supplied preprint text and native layouts; proposal remains unvalidated
Loeb models a population mass budget for 3I/ATLAS and offers ordinary cometary-core or rarer-population alternatives. Technological design is conditional speculation; albedo, size, selection and reservoir assumptions remain explicit, with no artificial-origin detection or independent model validation.

Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. October 5, 2020.
Siraj and Loeb forecast interstellar-object velocity and direction distributions from conventional stellar ejection. Their estimates distinguish 12-object velocity and 180-object angular tests of two ejection models from a separate 12-object anisotropy test. Density, size, sampling and detection assumptions remain uncertain. White-dwarf, outer-cloud and interstellar-medium alternatives are retained. Discovery forecasts and an artifact conjecture are not observations. Manuscript comments and work-level grant support do not establish government access.

Abraham (Avi) Loeb, Frank H. Laukien. galileo.hsites.harvard.edu. February 13, 2023.
Loeb and Laukien outline instrument-based investigations of aerial phenomena, interstellar objects and meteor fragments. The paper describes a research programme and proposed methods, rather than a confirmed anomalous discovery.
