This video shows a bright bolide recorded on October 6, at 5:36 local time (equivalent to 3:36 universal time). The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 90,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the provinces of Granada and Murcia (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 105 km over the locality of Puebla de Don Fadrique (province of Granada), moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 70 km over the locality of Barranda (province of Murcia).

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: SWEMN20241006_033636.
