In Signs 112 – Q1 2026 Concerns, we stated, “The concern is that we are entering a new phase and that many more large bolides will light up our skies in the months ahead.” Our concerns were well-founded.
June is statistically the lowest month of the year for fireball activity, yet the numbers are unexpected. This includes not only fireballs but also earthquakes for this month. Ergo, June 2026 has proved to be a very surprising month indeed.
Part of this surprise goes back to April of this year, when we announced a new fireball dataset we call the “Huge Event Travel Distance.” The question then became, is this new dataset a passing trend or will it continue? With the June 2026 fireball data, we can now see that this concern has materialized as a multi-month trend at the very least.
