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, Huelva, La Hita, CAHA, OSN, La Sagra, 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).
The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 133,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the south of Spain. It began at an altitude of about 103 km over the province of Málaga, moved northwest, and ended at a height of around 64 km over the province of Sevilla.

The Caribbean Astronomy Society (SAC) captured images of the fast meteor and explained that both the witnesses who observed it, as well as one of the SAC's color cameras.
They perceived that the meteor showed a somewhat greenish color, which suggests it was a space rock with metallic content.
The bright meteor was visible looking north and its trajectory moved even further towards the north of the Island, so the possibility that some fragment reached the mainland, since from somewhere to have survived the fragmentation, it must have occurred over the Atlantic Ocean.
