Bug: Incorrect latitude and longitude #39

Description

I found an example where the latitude and longitude reported in the bolide data frame is not correct:

bdf.iloc[1463]:
datetime                                    2024-09-19 09:52:50.049000+00:00
longitude                                                         -95.642914
latitude                                                          -11.445276

and yet:

bdf.attachments[1463]:
[{'location': {'coordinates': [-113.73348999023438, -27.126758575439453],
...]

The values in the "attachments" is correct. This is the webpage for this bolide:
https://neo-bolide.ndc.nasa.gov/#/eventdetail/66edcf4c6e2a8c48a0c0adf9?ref=main

Looking at the website, it becomes immediately clear what is going on. This event has an extreme outlier datum at (-77.6, 4.2). The reported longitude and latitude is the mean, whereas the values reported in the attachments (which comes from the pipeline run) is the median.

I think we need to change the code that generates the latitude and longitude to use the median values.

I think the issue with the extreme outlier being added has been fixed as of pipeline release 1.0.0. But this detection is from a previous pipeline release.
