At 22:14 UT on 3 May, a bright, short bolid was seen near the town of Caspe, Zaragoza province, in the northern direction. The bolide captured is about 495 km from the observatory, so we can not appreciate its light footprint with such clarity, but its final explosion after entering the atmosphere.

This object was recorded in the detectors of the SMART Project operated in Calar Alto (Almeria), Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), La Hita (Toledo), Olocau (Valencia), Faro de Cullera (Valentina), Marçà (Tarragona) and Sant Celoni.

This time, one of the external surveillance webcams operated at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería, also recorded the nice event.
