In 2014, a seismometer detected the sound waves from a meteor fireball crashing into the atmosphere north of Papua New Guinea. According to a new paper, this seismic signal perfectly matches the ground vibrations caused by a truck rumbling past the station on a nearby road. It was believed this meteor was interstellar in origin, which led a team of scientists to search the seafloor for fragments that might have come from outside the Solar System.
