During the night of the first of November, two bright fireballs could be seen on the skies.

The first one, at 18:53 UT (19:53 local time) happened on the skies of  Castilla La Mancha   (South Spain). This object could be registered with the SMART Project detectors operated at Calar Alto (Almería), La Sagra (Granada), Siera Nevada (Granada), La Hita (Toledo) and Seville observatories.

Concerning the second one, the results of the analysis are provisional. It seems to flew above North Africa  skies at  22:30 UT (23:30 local time) and ended with a big explosion. This information will be updated if we can get more data about this fireball.

Both of them could also be recorded with three of the Calar Alto Observatory surveillance webcams.
