EMP or just explosion?
Wouldn’t out INTELSATs have caught it, and news been leaked before now?
Any thoughts?

I know you think the odds are comparable to being able to see a needle in a haystack from 10 miles away, it apparently keeps happening anyway. :)

These are just the researched and confirmed impacts... There are a LOT that still have not been fully documented.

Hover over these and it gives the details of each. The U.S. probably shows more frequency because it has been researched a quite a bit more than other locations around the world.

And here is the impact data from South America alone...
