    As far as we know today, no.  There are no others pointed as directly at us as WR-104.

    Your other two examples are either estimated to have a quite different angle (like WR-98a) or to be too far away to have been measured with any accuracy, and to have too much stuff between us to be any real concern.

    Most other examples we know of are nowhere near being pointed at us.
