Oceanic Atmospheric Entry Corridor (cneos-fb-44-202503271605)
Detected by U.S. Government Space-Based Infrared sensors and cataloged by NASA/JPL CNEOS on 2025-03-27 16:05:23 UTC over Oceanic Atmospheric Entry Corridor (14.30°, -111.50°), this ~3.04m meteoroid entered at 21.30 km/s (3D ECEF vector vx=-7.3 km/s, vy=19.8 km/s, vz=-2.8 km/s). Peak radiative flare occurred at 38.1 km altitude with 1.05e+12 J radiated optical energy and 2.400 kt total coupled kinetic energy, propagating infrasound detectable out to ~1,902 km.
