This stunning bolide was spotted from Spain on February 16, at 2:11 local time (equivalent to 1:11 universal time). It was brighter than the full Moon. The fireball was observed by some casual eyewitnesses, who reported it on social networks.
The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 135,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the province of Huesca (Spain). It began at an altitude of about 94 km over the locality of Loporzano (province of Huesca), moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 33 km over the locality of Sobás (province of Huesca).
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), Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), Olocau (Valencia), Faro de Cullera (Valencia), Sant Celoni, and Breda. 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: SWEMN20250216_011130.
The director of the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY), Theodoros Kolydas, explained that the mysterious morning glow observed by some in the Attic sky on early Monday was caused by a meteor entering Earth's atmosphere.
A video captured by a camera mounted on a meteorological station in Acharnes shows a sudden flash of light that does not appear to originate from cloud formations.
Kolydas confirmed that the phenomenon was indeed a meteor, with its glow visible across central Greece.
"For an observer on Earth, meteors that enter the atmosphere in the early morning hours travel at higher speeds and are more difficult to spot, whereas those appearing in the early evening move more slowly," he noted.
Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.
