2022 EB5

2022 EB5 was a small, two-metre Apollo near-Earth asteroid that disintegrated in Earth's atmosphere at 21:22 UTC on 11 March 2022, over the Arctic Ocean southwest of the Norwegian island Jan Mayen.

With an atmospheric entry speed of 18 km/s (11 mi/s), the asteroid's impact generated a 4-kiloton-equivalent fireball that was detected by infrasound from Greenland and Norway.

[7][8] A bright flash possibly associated with the event was reported by observers from Northern Iceland.

[8] It was discovered by astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky at Konkoly Observatory's Piszkéstető Station in Mátra Mountains, Hungary about two hours before impact.

[8][4] It was briefly listed on the Minor Planet Center's Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page under the temporary designation Sar2593.
