This is a general question about re-entries of small objects. What might they look like? When a fragment of only a few kilograms, whose RCS is a fraction of a square meter, decays, what sort of fireball would be produced? What about even smaller pieces of debris? What I'm wondering is how large a fireball is produced by a small fragment re-entering at a much slower speed than meteoroids.
