Avi Loeb and his team just brought the materials back to Harvard for analysis. The US Space Command can confirm with almost near certainty, 99,999%, that it came from another solar system. The US Government gave Loeb a 10 km radius of where it may have landed.
"That is where the fireball took place, and the government detected it from the Department of Defense. It's a very big area the size of Boston, so we wanted to pin it down," said Loeb, "We figured the distance of the fireball based off the time delay between the arrival of blast wave, the boom of explosion, and the light that arrived quickly."
