‘Interstellar’ fireballs likely came from within our solar system, study suggests


The supposed interstellar fireball detected over the Pacific Ocean in 2014 probably came from within our solar system, according to new statistical modeling of the meteor and others similar to it. 

The new study also concludes that debris from the fireball would not have survived passage through Earth’s atmosphere, meaning that the claimed recovery of fragments from it must have a different, more mundane origin.
