Detecting Interstellar Objects through Stellar Occultations

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 (similar to 0.1 s) of their stellar occultation signals and high inclination relative to the ecliptic plane. An all-sky monitoring program of all similar to 7 x 10(6) stars with R less than or similar to 12.5 using 1-m telescopes with 0.1 s cadences is predicted to discover similar to 1 interstellar object per year.
