Histograms of velocities (left panel) and altitudes (middle panel) for all CNEOS events. The two interstellar candidates are color coded as filled (IMC1) and empty (IMC2) cyan dots. The right panel shows the altitude–velocity scatter plot, in which six events (including the both interstellar candidates) have significantly deviated from the bulk of the events. The hyperbolic fireballs are marked as red crosses. Events with large deviations in the υy velocity component are shown in orange. The empty square is the CNEOS event 2015-01-07, for which the velocity was overestimated by 30% (Borovička et al. 2017).
