This bolide was spotted over Spain on July 26, at 3:18 local time (equivalent to 1:18 universal time). The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from comet 169P/NEAT that hit the atmosphere at about 91,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the south of Spain. It began at an altitude of about 99 km over the province of Córdoba, moved northeast, and ended at a height of around 76 km over the province of Jaén.
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 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).
This bright bolide was spotted over Spain on July 26, at 1:04 local time (equivalent to 23:04 universal time on July 25). It was almost as bright as the full Moon. The fireball was observed by casual eyewitnesses, who reported it on social networks.
The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 57,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the south of Spain. It began at an altitude of about 104 km over the province of Jaén, moved southeast, and ended at a height of around 26 km over the province of Granada.

The entry of a celestial fireball into the atmosphere was captured last night by cameras in southern Uruguay and also in neighboring Argentina.
In our country, the phenomenon was recorded by an All Sky camera installed at Liceo No. 1 Dr. Roberto Taruselli, in the town of Dolores. This recording device reaches 90 kilometers in height and covers a radius of 200 kilometers.
As reported by Channel 11 of Fray Bentos, the object appeared in the sky in the north and disappeared seven seconds later to the southwest, lighting up the sky with a remarkable scale of bright green colors.
We received 10 reports about a fireball seen over Besztercebányai kerület, Ljubljana, Lower Austria, Oberösterreich, Vojvodina and Wien on Wednesday, July 13th 2022 around 01:10 UT.
For this event, we received one video and one photo.
