We present a theoretical study of the propagation of extremely short electromagnetic pulses in a Bragg medium containing an immersed array of carbon nanotubes. With this unique configuration, we establish the possible stable propagation of such light bullets. In particular, our results suggest these light bullets can carry information about the Bragg medium itself.
