Answer to Question 1

May include: Would look near the ecliptic using very sensitive visible light (preferably red) or near-infrared light. Would look for streaks compared to point-like stars, or for points that move from night to night. Might accidentally find asteroids, which would have much longer streaks.

Answer to Question 2

A
