Approximate locations are determined using reported latitude and longitude coordinates in relation to a geographic dataset to improve clarity for readers. The geographic reference data for these calculations are sourced from GeoNames.org (CC BY 4.0) and additional public and manually curated sources. These datasets are analyzed to illustrate fireball proximity and provide contextual reporting.

The NASA/JPL fireball API does not provide country-level location information; the country and regional context are inferred through independent geographic processing. The data processing code was developed with the assistance of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot under the supervision of the webmaster.

The raw data for this web page is from the JPL Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) and was pulled from the Fireball Data API. Webpage coding was done with the aid of ChatGPT under the guidance of the webmaster.
