Oceanic Atmospheric Entry Corridor (cneos-fb-45-202503240551)
Detected by U.S. Government Space-Based Infrared sensors and cataloged by NASA/JPL CNEOS on 2025-03-24 05:51:43 UTC over Oceanic Atmospheric Entry Corridor (-70.40°, 114.20°), this ~1.02m meteoroid entered at 28.20 km/s (3D ECEF vector vx=-0.9 km/s, vy=-24.8 km/s, vz=13.4 km/s). Peak radiative flare occurred at 21.5 km altitude with 4.90e+10 J radiated optical energy and 0.160 kt total coupled kinetic energy, propagating infrasound detectable out to ~737 km.
