Coordinated observations of a ~45 g earthgrazing fireball localize thermospheric shock generation to volatile-enhanced hydrodynamic shielding that enables continuum-like flow and detectable infrasound.

Analysis of 623 bolides finds 50% infrasound detection rate controlled primarily by entry angle rather than energy, with steeper and lower-altitude events more detectable.
Sakurai blast radius formulation matches observed infrasound periods from OSIRIS-REx reentry with 9% median absolute percentage residual, outperforming Mach-diameter approximation by factor of three.

Benchmarking Cylindrical Blast Wave Theory Against the OSIRIS-REx Sample Return Capsule Reentry
Sakurai blast radius formulation matches observed infrasound periods from OSIRIS-REx reentry with 9% median absolute percentage residual, outperforming Mach-diameter approximation by factor of three.
