Speed (top panel) and absolute magnitude (middle panel) vs height for the 2018 April 17 fireball, as seen from the PRISMA cameras. Best-fit model curves for the three chosen meteoroid shapes (sphere, cube, and cylinder) are also shown superposed to the data. The prominent oscillations in the light curve are interpreted as being due to the asymmetric shape of the spinning meteoroid. The bottom panel shows the height dependence of the theoretical drag and lift coefficients for the three selected shapes.
