The space rock entered the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere at 21h35min BRT (00h35min UTC), when it was recorded by the cameras of the BRAMON stations RCP3, RCP4 and CRP1, located in the cities of Nhandeara and Indiapor\u00e3, both in SP, and by 5 other cameras of <a href=\"http:\/\/climaaovivo.com.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clima ao Vivo<\/a> in S\u00e3o Paulo and Paran\u00e1 .

However, thanks to the excellent coverage of BRAMON and Clima ao Vivo in that region, it was possible to register the meteor from the cities where there were not so many clouds.<\/p>\n<h2>At the right time, shooting the right place<\/h2>\n<p>280 km away, the photographer and amateur astronomer Andr\u00e9 Casagrande made a beautiful record of the passage of this meteor. Andr\u00e9 was in Primeiro de Maio, in the North of Paran\u00e1 state, and at the moment the fireball crossed the sky of S\u00e3o Paulo, he was just photographing the sky, exactly in the direction where the meteor occurred. And the result of this coincidence could not be better: a fantastic record of the moment when the meteor lit up the starry sky, with a beautiful landscape of the interior of Paran\u00e1 in the foreground.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3680\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3680\" data-attachment-id=\"3680\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/en\/bola-de-fogo-cruza-o-ceu-do-interior-de-sao-paulo\/a_foto\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?fit=2000%2C1333\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1333\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3,5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Andre Casagrande&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1608164805&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Passagem do meteoro fotografada a partir de Primeiro de Maio, Norte do Paran\u00e1 &#8211; Cr\u00e9ditos: Andr\u00e9 Casagrande\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Passagem do meteoro fotografada a partir de Primeiro de Maio, Norte do Paran\u00e1 &#8211; Cr\u00e9ditos: Andr\u00e9 Casagrande&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?fit=300%2C200\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?fit=854%2C569\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3680\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?resize=854%2C569\" alt=\"Passagem do meteoro fotografada a partir de Primeiro de Maio, Norte do Paran\u00e1 - Cr\u00e9ditos: Andr\u00e9 Casagrande\" width=\"854\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?resize=1024%2C682 1024w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?resize=768%2C512 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024 1536w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?w=2000 2000w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.bramonmeteor.org\/bramon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/a_foto.jpg?w=1708 1708w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meteor passage shooted from Primeiro de Maio, North of Paran\u00e1 State &#8211; Credits: Andr\u00e9 Casagrande<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Trajectory<\/h2>\n<p>Preliminary analyzes indicate that the space rock reached the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere at an angle of 18.6 \u00b0 to the ground, at a speed of 13.52 km\/s (34400 km\/h).
