a lot more "visible" than something like the Manhattan Project was.
But there is a lot of it, and most of the action would be happening a long way away from the earth - more than 93 million miles, on average.
Russell's teapot :-p :-)
Not exactly. My claim was simply that observation would be difficult - not impossible - in the same way that it isn't impossible to intercept an intercontinetal ballasitc missile in mid-flight, but that the practical difficulties mean that nobody is trying to do it.

Reagan's "Star Wars" proposal pretended that it was practical.
The thing is, it is impossible to prove that there are no objects out there in an intercept orbit with earth.

If you find one, you have proved it exists, but you can not prove the negative.
Larger objects hit the planet and make it down to the surface less often, and the frequency drops off with size. A really big one killed off the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.Bolides bright enough to show on CCTV cameras and with sonic boom are not that uncommon now that we have near global surveillance.
