On the night of May 3, three Exoss network cameras recorded a bright meteor over the south of Espirito Santo, Brazil.
The fireball entered the atmosphere at a 60 degree entry angle at the place below its initial penetration, above the city Mimoso do Sul at a height of about 80 km, at a low speed, about 18km / sec, covering about 23 km in about 1.7 secs. Its maximum brightness came close to the magnitude of Venus.

Applying the usual criteria of the meteoroid source analysis, together with its orbital elements, such as eccentricity , inclination , semi-major axis, indicate that this bolide may originate from a NEA (Near Earth Asteroid).
