The ~300-gram meteorite (DN250711_02) was found about 400 kilometres north-east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder by Curtin University PhD students Dale Giancono (finder), Iona Clemente and Michael Frazer in the calculated 3 km by 0.5 km fall area in late November 2025 using the DFN AI-assisted drone search method with a new software. After checking on 700 hundred of the drone-detected 728 possible meteorite candidates they found the meteorite in the late afternoon of the sixth and last search day of the eight-day search expedition. The atmospheric trajectory of the bolide had been calculated using five DFN cameras. Another successful search campaign of the Desert Fireball Network. It’s their 11th detected meteorite with a known orbit. Their report about the successful drone meteorite search can be found HERE (published on 5 December 2025).
