They include the interstella r meteor\, IM1\, detected on January 8\, 2014\, `Oumuamua detected on Octo ber 19\, 2017\, and Borisov detected on August 29\, 2019. Among these\, th e first two appeared anomalous relative to known solar-system rocks wherea s the fourth appeared to be a familiar comet. IM1 exhibited the highest ma terial strength among all meteorites in the CNEOS catalog of NASA\, `Oumua mua exhibited a flat shape and non-gravitational acceleration with no dete ctable cometary evaporation. In June 2023 we recovered 850 spherules from the Pacific Ocean site IM1. A tenth of these submillimeter meteoritic sphe rules displayed a unique chemical composition\, different from familiar so lar system materials. Currently\, new Galileo Project Observatories are mo nitoring millions of objects near Earth in the infrared\, optical\, radio and audio and analyzing their nature with machine-learning software. Are a ny of them Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena? Forthcoming data from the Rub in Observatory in Chile will offer additional clues on interstellar object s. Is space trash from extraterrestrial technological civilizations lurkin g among the natural interstellar rocks?
