Fair Value Reasoning:
Based on NASA/JPL historical data, the base rate for >100kt impacts is ~5.2% (2 events in 38 years). Since ~2.5 months of 2026 have passed without a confirmed >100kt event (the March 8 German fireball was assessed to be far below this energy level), the theoretical probability for the remaining 9.5 months decays to ~4% (0.052 * 0.79). The current market price of ~5c is slightly above fair value, pricing in a long-tail risk premium following recent news.

Exotics
While meteor strikes are known natural phenomena, predicting a high-energy impact (100kt level, roughly 1/5 to 1/4 of the Chelyabinsk meteor, or over 6 times the Hiroshima bomb) within a specific year is an exotic tail-risk event. Most people do not routinely consider such specific low-probability catastrophes.
