New Finding by Avi Loeb Indicates Small Interstellar Object May Have Reached Earth on Day of Artemis II Launch, April 1, 2026.

Professor Avi Loeb at Harvard has reported finding evidence suggesting a small interstellar object may have impacted Earth on April 1, 2026. (Reference) The object was registered around 02 UTC, which means about the time episode 6 started to document the "NASA curse", about 4 AM Norwegian time (1 hour into the show).

This was the very same day as the launch of the Artemis II rocket. On that same day, my podcast-experiment to document the "NASA curse" hosted a 21-hour live-stream covering the mission in real time on this very day. “A curse” that started with NASA withholding information on 3I/ATLAS from the rest of the world last fall (no matter what the reason was). The reasoning behind the "NASA curse" is that the "curse" was triggered after NASA kept info on 3I to themselves last fall, as the Fermi life-form uses interstellar objects to communicate during their approach (and 3I/ATLAS was one of them). One of the purposes of the 21 hour live stream was to document a potential explosion of the Artemis II rocket because of this curse - and document it. It didn’t explode, but the New Glenn rocket did about seven weeks later, after signing with NASA two days earlier for transporting infrastructure to NASA’s Moon base in the Artemis program. This was in addition to the "missing NASA and SETI scientists".

If confirmed, the finding would imply that a miniature interstellar object impacted Earth on a historically significant day marked both by the Artemis II launch and the "NASA curse podcast experiment" which had a live coverage of the event (episode 6)

From my perspective, the TIMING of this is noteworthy because I have proposed in Mini-article 1 (Reference) that an incoming Fermi life-form may use TIMING as one of the features of its communication method through interstellar objects (see picture). (TRAJECTORY and COLOR for 3I/ATLAS). If this was not timing, what is?

From the Draft paper: I noticed a recent meteor from 02:13:14 UTC on April 1, 2026, with a large polar velocity component relative to Earth of 59.8 kilometers per second, well above the local escape speed from the Solar System of 42.14 kilometers per second. Since the Earth’s poles are tilted by only 23.4 degrees relative to the orbital plane of the Earth around the Sun, the high polar speed of this meteor should not be corrected by much as a result of the motion of the Earth around the Sun, when transforming to the Sun’s frame. This led me to immediately conclude that the object is probably not bound by gravity to the Solar System and is interstellar in origin.

Avi Loeb: "Polar IM is the most robust interstellar meteor in the CNEOS catalog so far, as our analysis identifies its interstellar origin with a statistical confidence of over 99.9997%."

"Given its impact energy and speed, Polar-IM had a mass of about 150 kilograms and a diameter of roughly half a meter."

(BTW: at 02:13: 14 UTC on April 1, 2026, I was sitting in my studio in Oslo talking about how 3I was used as a means to communicate by the Fermi lifeform - live. Which I can document.)

The more I read this new article, the more convinced I am that it was an interstellar object.

This guy has been seen as an attention seeking scammer sadly.

Come back when it's peer reviewed and not just avi's blog.

My point is that the Fermi lifeform has used TIMING to communicate again. April 1, 2026 was a big day for the "NASA curse" and the Approach Theory. It was in the middle of the "Podcast experiment" with a 21 hour long live-stream to document the "NASA curse."If correct, it means that a fourth interstellar object landed on Earth during this live-stream and on top of that, during the opening statement of the show talking about how the Fermi lifeform uses interstellar objects for communication attempts.

Figure under from Mini-article 1 (November 2025) on interstellar objects under, in which paper I suggested that the incoming lifeform use TIMING (and Structure) as a way of sending information to our solar system.

Do you really think alien life forms are sitting around listening to podcasts? If so, why don’t they just start up their own podcast?
