Three phenomena as beautiful as interesting could be observed from Calar Alto Observatory in Almería during the nights of September 10th and 11th. First of them, September 10th, at 00h29 UT,  was a nice fireball that could be registered from the SMART Project's detectors operated at  Calar Alto (Almería), Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Seville, Otura (Granada) and Mazagón (Huelva) observatories.

The second, also on September 10th, turned out to be a phenomenon that is difficult to observe and specially to study, as it happens in a very short lapse. It was a sprite caused by a large storm that occurred that night.

Finally a really impressive super-fireball on September 11th, iluminated the night at Calar Alto Observatory. This event was also registered with the SMART Project's detectors operated at Calar Alto (Almería), Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Seville, Sant Celoni (Barcelona) and Mazagón (Huelva) observatories.

All of them were also registered  with the external cameras of Calar Alto Observatory in Almería.

The event was registered by the SMART Project's detectors operated at Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Mazagón (Huelva), Huelva, and Seville observatories.

Two of the external cameras at the Calar Alto Observatory in Almería were also able to track this beautiful object.

Last night, at 22h49 UT, a bright fireball crossed Cantabria (North of Spain) skies, more than 700 km away in a straight line from Calar Alto Observatory in Almería (South of Spain).

Even at this long distance, this event was registered with SMART detectors operated at Calar Alto Observatory, as well as with two of the external cameras of the observatory.

Together with Calar Alto, SMART Project’s detector located at La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), Seville and Sant Celoni, also registered this nice fireball.
