Scientists Debate Alien Origins of Interstellar Meteors and Objects
Astronomers believe small interstellar objects frequently pass through our solar system and hit Earth, but detecting these tiny, fast-moving bodies remains challenging. Recent discoveries of interstellar objects like 'Oumuamua and Borisov support the idea of a continuous influx of alien debris, yet unambiguous detection of interstellar meteors in Earth's atmosphere has so far eluded scientists. Increasing sky surveillance could help capture these cosmic visitors and deepen our understanding of other star systems.
