It was recently shown that exotic asteroid-sized objects moving at relativistic speeds in the vicinity of the Earth could be detected by their gravitational waves in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA experiments, thereby leading to a constraint on their local number density. Here I show that a much stronger limit can be derived from the fact that no such object has ever impacted the Earth.
