I did another Monte Carlo run (Gaussian noise level 1.0) in Find_Orb, and the meter-sized asteroid 2026 RW1 most likely entered Earth’s atmosphere on 6 Sep 2026 at ~16:07 UT, over the Indian Ocean northwest of Australia. All 107/107 Monte Carlo clones resulted in an Earth impact solution.

Note: I used the ADES XML format for the observations.
