Abstract
Abstract Stellar occultations have been used to search for Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud objects. We propose a search for interstellar objects based on the characteristic durations (∼0.1 s) of their stellar occultation signals and high inclination relative to the ecliptic plane. An all-sky monitoring program of all ∼7 × 106 stars with R ≲ 12.5 using 1-m telescopes with 0.1 s cadences is predicted to discover ∼1 interstellar object per year.
