The stunning fireball in this video was recorded from Spain on November 18, at 3:17 local time (equivalent to 2:17 universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 132,000 km/h. The fireball overflew Granada (Spain), the Mediterranean Sea, and Moroccos. It began at an altitude of about 93 km over the locality of Saleres (province of Granada, Spain), moved southwest, overflew the Mediterranean Sea, and ended at a height of around 41 km over the locality of Ait Hamza (Morocco).

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 Sagra (Granada), Sevilla, and Mazagón (Huelva). 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: SWEMN20251118_021744.

A very bright fireball was recorded over New Zealand's North Island at 09:31 UTC on Monday, November 17.

Fireballs Aotearoa reported captures on several network cameras, including the Tauranga Astronomical Society (TAS) color meteor camera in Matua, Tauranga, and the Katikati station.

No trajectory, radiant, absolute magnitude estimate, fragmentation data or potential fall area has been published at this time. The event occurred near the nominal Leonid maximum (active November 6-30 with peak around November 17), but any shower association remains unconfirmed pending analysis of multi-station data.

Note that the audio heard on the clip below is wind noise on the microphone, not sound from the meteor.
