A bolide – a very bright meteor of an apparent magnitude of −4 or brighter
World map of bolide events (1994–2013)[1]
A bolide is normally taken to mean an exceptionally bright meteor, but the term is subject to more than one definition, according to context. It may refer to any large crater-forming body, or to one that explodes in the atmosphere. It can be a synonym for a fireball, sometimes specific to those with an apparent magnitude of −4 or brighter.
