This bright bolide was spotted from Spain on September 4, at 0:38 local time (equivalent to 22:38 universal time on September 3). The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from an asteroid that hit the atmosphere at about 99,000 km/h. The fireball overflew the province of Cuenca. It began at an altitude of about 98 km over Villaverde y Pasaconsol (province of Cuenca), moved northwest, and ended at a height of around 52 km over Horcajada de la Torre (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 Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), Sevilla, and Otura (Granada). 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: SWEMN20250903_223820.
