Extensive NASA and ESA monitoring of near-Earth objects shows no cataloged asteroids on collision courses capable of delivering 10kt+ impact energy in 2026. Risk lists updated as recently as September list only low-probability events years away, with cumulative impact odds for known objects remaining below 1 in hundreds or thousands. Ongoing surveys, including recent close-approach data for small meter-scale bodies, continue to refine orbits without elevating alerts, while historical patterns confirm that undetected large impactors are rare. Traders assign the 88% “No” probability because comprehensive detection networks and absence of credible near-term threats outweigh residual uncertainty from undiscovered objects. Key catalysts ahead include continued LSST observations and any new radar tracking that could further tighten these assessments.

The object must be classified as a natural meteoroid; events involving artificial objects or reentry vehicles do not qualify.
The primary resolution source will be the NASA JPL Fireball and Bolide Data repository: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/fireballs/. The relevant field for determining impact energy is the “Impact Energy (kt)” column. If this dataset has not been updated to include all relevant dates by February 28, 2027, or if the NASA JPL Fireball and Bolide Data repository becomes permanently unavailable, this market may resolve based on a consensus of credible sources including the European Space Agency (ESA), the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN), the U.S. Department of Defense, or credible reporting of a scientific consensus, such as a NASA press release.
