## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests supported it: three pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Future analogues show the same properties with natural causes identified.
- No technosignature is found from interstellar objects.

## What would rule it out

- An observation of an interstellar object that no natural process can produce, such as a narrowband transmission or a controlled manoeuvre.
