There is a paper submitted to Geophysical Research Letters on arxiv "Detection of a bolide in Jupiter’s atmosphere with Juno UVS" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.04511.pdf

Their detection time is 10 April 2020 at 12:57:10 UTC which puts it between PJ26_13 and PJ26_14.
Their location is planetocentric latitude of 53◦N and a System III longitude of 200◦W
They also state the location was not observed by JIRAM or JunoCam.

So, I'm wondering of someone here can easily lookup the Jupiter location/coordinates of JNCE_2020101_26C00014_V01-raw.png
pixel x:1541 y:3402, which looks to be the center of a few pixels wide (possibly elongated) bright red spot.

It will take me a a little while to determine the location with my tools.

Here is what the area looks like brightened some:

Looks like about 71N 157W, so much farther north.

But that does look like something.

Thanks. I'm coming up with 66.9N 157.7W (xyz={-24537.128481434785`, -10077.142367453582`, 62081.96436960365`})

Whatever it is, I can only detect it in the red band. So I wonder if Jupiter atmosphere is red-hot there.

Whatever it is, I can only detect it in the red band.

A transient event that lasts for less than the interframe time will only show up in one band regardless of its actual color.
