Oceanic Atmospheric Entry Corridor (cneos-fb-13-202605070552)
Detected by U.S. Government Space-Based Infrared sensors and cataloged by NASA/JPL CNEOS on 2026-05-07 05:52:03 UTC over Oceanic Atmospheric Entry Corridor (32.50°, -36.80°), this ~1.2m meteoroid entered at 24.80 km/s (3D ECEF vector vx=-1.8 km/s, vy=24.1 km/s, vz=-5.4 km/s). Peak radiative flare occurred at 36.0 km altitude with 6.40e+10 J radiated optical energy and 0.200 kt total coupled kinetic energy, propagating infrasound detectable out to ~797 km.
