Perhaps if extremely low? I think the cutoff for IMO fireball reporting is
-3? The -3 figure already takes into some account for those seen low along
the horizon to reach fireball status of greater than the brightest planets at
around -5. I don't think they will record in FIDAC of meteors with magnitudes
of -1 and -2? At least I haven't seen any yet that they have listed?
