… shows the ‘heatmap’ and the trajectory of the fireball of 14 November 2017 at 17:48 CET. On the map, the regions with the most observation reports are colored red. It is clearly visible that most of the reports came from the German French border region. The IMO received over 2000 observation reports of this event. This is an absolute record for an event since the multilingual fireball report form was introduced. The two images show the fireball from two different locations: one in the Italian Alps near Cernadoi, the other near Flagey-Rigney, north of Besançon in the French département of Doubs.
