Meteorites are remains of space targets, which could provide direct evidence to analyse the history of the solar
system. Meteorites normally come from comets, asteroids or meteoroids. When these space targets travel through
the atmosphere, they would radiate energy and become fireballs. With appropriate instruments, we could build a
system to obtain meteorites. The system includes devices to observe these fireballs and unmanned aerial vehicles
to discovery these meteorites on the ground. In a meteorites detection system, an adequate observation device
and detection algorithm are important. In this paper, we would show the device developed by our group with
commercial camera and neural networks to detect fireballs efficiently. The device could achieve more than 97%
accuracy in detection of fireballs in real time. Besides, the device is cheap and small, which could be placed in
different places to form an array to locate meteorites.
