Coordinated observations of a ~45 g earthgrazing fireball localize thermospheric shock generation to volatile-enhanced hydrodynamic shielding that enables continuum-like flow and detectable infrasound.

A new three-point inverse solution using the α-β model reconstructs meteoroid masses and bulk densities from limited fireball observations, achieving 88% convergence on the EN catalog and producing a continuous density range of 300-4000 kg m^{-3} instead of discrete PE categories.
A 2026 meteor detection yields heliocentric speed 51.73 km/s and positive energy, with Monte Carlo showing no bound orbits possible under the adopted error model.
