Case description

On 26 November 2011 at 04:53, a witness saw a bright point with a green trail. Strong light, green trail, straight movement and a duration of a few seconds fully match a fireball. The source defines this as the upper-atmosphere entry of a “large meteorite,” over 100 g and from a few centimeters to 1 m in size. These source terms and ranges are retained. Several observers in the REFORME meteor network recorded the same event within 1 minute, establishing its meteoritic origin. REFORME gave magnitude −10, making it exceptional. The source refers to an online video titled “Fireball of 26 November 2011.”
