Bramon has other cameras that could have captured the phenomenon
but because of the storm cells located close to the meteor’s site at that moment
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
the photographer and amateur astronomer André Casagrande made a beautiful record of the passage of this meteor
and at the moment the fireball crossed the sky of São Paulo
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 Paraná in the foreground

Preliminary analyzes indicate that the space rock reached the Earth’s atmosphere at an angle of 18.6 ° to the ground
until it disappeared at 25.3 km height southwest from the municipality of Votuporanga

the meteor still reached -9.5 on the magnitude scale
used in astronomy to measure the brightness of celestial objects
The number itself indicates that it was very luminous
about 100 times brighter than the planet Venus
Meteors brighter than Venus are also called “fireballs”
Bramon will continue the work to further refine the data and make it more accurate. If you saw this or another meteor, keep your report to bramon.imo.net
