  In a recent preprint, Fernando et al. (2024) used public data from infrasound
stations to constrain the localization of the fireball of the CNEOS 2014-01-08
(IM1) bolide. The analysis inferred a 90-percent-confidence ellipse with
semi-minor and semi-major axes of 186 and 388 km, respectively. This large
error ellipse includes the much better localization box derived by sensors
aboard U.S. Government satellites which detected the fireball light. At the
fireball's peak brightness, the CNEOS localization box documented by NASA/JPL
measures 11.112km on a side and is centered on a latitude of 1.3S and a
longitude of 147.6E. Here, we point out that the recent expedition to retrieve
materials from IM1's site (Loeb et al. 2024a,b,c) surveyed a region of tens of
km around the CNEOS box center, and was not dictated by the data studied by
Fernando et al. (2024) because of its larger uncertainties.
