Meteoroid Interstellar Optical Video Hyperbolic Orbit

Scientific paper

We announce the first two detections from an optical search for meteoroids from interstellar space. These meteoroids were detected June 25 1995 02:21:43 UT and June 27 1995 02:48:32. They are 4 and 8 standard deviations above the eccentricity limit for hyperbolic orbits. These meteoroids have pre-atmospheric masses of the order of 10-7 kg. We extrapolate that of the order of 1 to 2% of meteors in this mass range are in hyperbolic orbits.
