The following meteor airburst events occurred between June 3rd, 2024, and September 13th, 2025. The last one was over land; however, it shows how active the atmosphere has been in the region. The map shows airbursts detected by NASA dating back to 2000, a 25-year time frame, indicating that this area has experienced well-above-average events.
2024, June 3. Southern Ocean, South America – Antarctica region. Airburst. Time: 01:13. Coordinates: (63.1S, 53.2W). e = 2.6. -e = 0.092 or 94,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 60km. Velocity: N.A.
2024, September 23. South Atlantic Ocean. Airburst. Time: 06:37. Coordinates: (45.6S, 31.9W). Energy: e = 5.5, -e = 0.18 or 180,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 69km. Velocity: N.A.
2024, September 28. Southern Ocean, between South America and Antarctica. Airburst. Coordintes: ( 59.8S, 51.8W). Energy: 0.32kt, or 320,000 kg/TNT. Time: 00:10:19. This was only 374 km N.W from the Airburst on June 3. This event was over 4 times more powerful than the South Africa event on August 25 that caused a sonic boom heard over 160km of coastline.
2024, November 10. Southern Ocean, South America – Antarctica region. Airburst. Time: 16:31. Coordinates: (59.8S, 73.6W). e = 5.7. -e = 0.18 or 180,000 kg/TNT. Altitude: 43km. Velocity: N.A.
2025, September 13. Argentina, Lihuel Calel Department, La Pampa Province. Airburst. Time: 22:26:39UT. 19:24LT. Coordinates: (38.1S,64.8W). Altitude: 25.1 km. Energy: e = 16.7e10, -e = 0.48 or 480,000 kg/TNT. Velocity: 17.8 km/s.
