Stunning meteor fireball over northern Spain (Oct 19)

This amazing bolide was spotted from Spain on October 19, at 6:01 local time (equivalent to 4:01 universal time). It was as bright as the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 249,000 km/h. The fireball overflew Spain. It began at an altitude of about 140 km over Fresno de la Ribera (province of Zamora), moved west, and ended at a height of around 82 km over Villardiegua de la Ribera (province of Zamora). This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN) from the meteor-observing stations located at Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), and Sevilla. The event has been analyzed by the principal investigator of the SMART project: Dr. Jose M. Madiedo, from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC). Its code in the SWEMN database is: SWEMN20251019_040112.
