2017 China bolide

On October 4, 2017 around 8:07 PM local time, an extremely bright meteoroid fell over the northern Yunnan province of China, reaching maximum brightness roughly 37 km above the ground. The 8-second superbolide was widely recorded, as it fell in the late evening on the Mid-Autumn Festival, a fairly popular festival in China.

Overview
Based on its incoming velocity of 14.6 km/s and energy, the original asteroid was likely between 2.2 and 3.6 m across, slightly smaller than the 2015 Thailand bolide, which fell about 2 years previously, several hundred miles to the south.

This is the largest recorded meteor to fall over China since the 2000 bolide, which radiated about 262 GJ of energy compared to the 2017 event's 192 GJ. While it was only the 5th most energetic impact event of 2017, it was the largest one to occur over land, and a populated area no less.
