This bright bolide is a Southern Taurid spotted over Spain on November 7, at 1:53 local time (equivalent to 0:53 universal time). The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from Comet 2P/Encke that hit the atmosphere at about 110,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the provinces of Avila and Salamanca (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 106 km over Ávila, moved north, and ended at a height of around 62 km over the province of Salamanca.
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, Huelva, Sevilla, El Guijo, Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra, ESA Casas de Millán, and ESA Cebreros. 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).
We received 60 reports about a fireball seen over Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Škofja Loka, Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Corse, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Grand Est, Koper, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardia, Niederösterreich, Piemonte, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Sardegna, Slovenj Gradec, Slovenska Bistrica, Steiermark and To on Saturday, November 5th 2022 around 20:55 UT.
Many people across Northern California on Friday reported seeing a bright light in the sky tumbling down. Several people captured the phenomenon on camera. Video taken from El Dorado County showed a bright ball descending from a dark night sky.
We received 136 reports about a fireball seen over CT, MA, MD, ME, New Brunswick, NH, NJ, NY, Ontario, PA, Québec, Quebec, RI, VA and VT on Friday, November 4th 2022 around 01:14 UT.

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
