Currently, there are two key sources of evidence based on two dashcam-footage that accidentally caught the meteor at the same time β from Kampong Kulapis, Brunei Darussalam and Penampang, Sabah. These useful information were solid proof to determine the approximate physical characteristics of the meteor and its location, which were later triangulated by statistics from another eyewitness.
