Histogram of sporadic fireballs detected as a function of 1/a. This value is proportional to the orbital energy, making it possible to highlight two populations of objects: (1) the slow objects (of asteroidal origin) with a maximum related to the 3:1 and ν6 resonances (green line), which are the main sources of NEOs; and (2) the fast objects around Neptune (purple line). These two populations are separated by Jupiter (orange line). The figure also shows the orbits of the Earth (blue), Mars (red), and the interstellar object 1I/Oumuamua (black). The FRIPON orbits with negative (1/a) values suffer from large errors and certainly do not correspond to orbits of interstellar objects.
