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.

High-speed imaging of four lunar impact flashes reveals lower variance in initial intensity than total energy and no correlation between them, suggesting decoupled vapor and ejecta phases.
High-resolution WRF atmospheric models show that wind-induced shifts in meteorite ground positions are typically 143-307 m, exceeding observational uncertainties, with successful use in recovering 12 meteorites and open release of 1107 models for 302 events.
