The fireball in this video was recorded over Spain on April 11, at 23:07 local time (equivalent to 21:07 universal time). The bolide was observed by casual eyewitnesses, who reported it on social networks.

The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 179,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the provinces of Teruel and Cuenca (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 120 km over the locality of Los Olmos de Manzanera (province of Teruel), moved southwest, and ended at a height of around 84 km over Fuentelespino de Haro (province of Cuenca).

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 Ayora (Valencia), La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto, La Sagra (Granada), Sevilla, Olocau (Valencia), Faro de Cullera (Valencia), and Sant Celoni. The event has been analyzed by the team headed by Dr. Jose M. Madiedo (principal investigator of the SMART project), from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC).
