Abstract:
A meteorite fell in Kosti city located in the White Nile State of Sudan on June 20, 2017. The meteor entered the Earth’s atmosphere at 12.03 midnight local time. The meteor’s light was very intense, images of this explosion were captured by mobile devices as lighting falling balls. Infrasound signals originating from the meteorite were detected at IMS stations in Kenya (1S32KE) and Tunisia (1S48TN). Event was part of SEL3 bulletin. Data recorded by these IMS stations were analysed using GPMCC. Analysis results agreed with the known back azimuth of the event. The result of the study is presented in this paper.
