This bright bolide was spotted from Spain on November 16, at 5:01 local time (equivalent to 4:01 universal time). The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from Asteroid 2004 TG10 that hit the atmosphere at about 105,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the province of Cuenca (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 90 km over Pozorrubio (province of Cuenca), moved east, and ended at a height of around 56 km over Villares del Saz (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 La Hita (Toledo), 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: SWEMN20251116_040132.
