This database records actual atmospheric impact events (fireballs/bolides) detected by US government optical and infrasound sensors worldwide. Every event displays its geographic location, burst altitude, velocity, and total radiated energy converted to kilotons TNT using official CNEOS equations.

Documented Fixed Conversion Standard:

1 kiloton TNT = 4.184 × 1012 Joules. Familiar comparisons are strictly computed via fixed documented conversion brackets against historical benchmarks: quarry detonations (<0.05 kt), small airbursts (0.05–0.5 kt), Hiroshima energy equivalent (15 kt TNT), and the Chelyabinsk superbolide event (440 kt TNT).
