New paper

On the Anomalous Acceleration of 1I/2017 U1 `Oumuamua Darryl Seligman, Gregory Laughlin, Konstantin Batygin (Submitted on 12 Mar 2019)

NOTE: Some of the following below is also copied in "Talk:Interstellar object#Interstellar object on Earth?" - for consideration/discussion - Drbogdan (talk) 12:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW - seems an interstellar object may currently be on Earth - recent news[1][2][3][4][5] may be of possible interest to some I would think - iac - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 20:33, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given this recent news, does the first sentence of this article,

ʻOumuamua is the first known interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System.

need to be changed, since Oumuamua was detected in 2017 and the referenced meteorite struck the Earth in 2014?

I went ahead and made the edit. Amolvaidya06 (talk) 21:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BRIEF Followup - Updated the lede of the 'Oumuamua article as follows => *ʻOumuamua is a known interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System.(+ref) It is possibly the second interstellar object known; the first being a purported interstellar meteor that impacted Earth in 2014.(+refs)" - seems better - comments welcome of course - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 22:35, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FURTHER Updates (also for consideration/discussion) - originally in the "Interstellar object" article as follows:

The first interstellar object which was discovered traveling through our Solar System was 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017. The second was 2I/Borisov in 2019. They both possess significant hyperbolic excess velocity, indicating they did not originate in the Solar System. Earlier, in 2014, an interstellar object was purported to have impacted Earth, based on its estimated initial high velocity.[1][2][3][4]

In 2019, a preprint was published suggesting that a 0.45 meter meteor of interstellar origin, did burn up in the Earth's atmosphere on January 8, 2014.[6][7][1][2] It had a heliocentric speed of 60 km/s and an asymptotic speed of 42.1±5.5 km/s, and it exploded at 17:05:34 UTC near Papua New Guinea at an altitude of 18.7 km.[3] After declassifying the data in April 2022,[8] the U.S. Space Command confirmed the detection through its planetary protection sensors.[9][4]

In April 2022, astronomers reported the possibility that a meteor that impacted Earth in 2014 may have been an interstellar object due to its estimated high initial velocity.[1][2][3][4]

hope the above helps in some way - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 12:30, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
