On October 4th, at 23h55 UT, a bright fireball could be observed crossing the skies of Cuenca and Valencia provinces in eastern Spain.
This object was registered with the SMART Project’s detectors operated at Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra 
(Granada), Otura (Granada)Huelva and Seville observatories.
Three of the external cameras located at Calar Alto Observatory, also registered this nice event.
The preliminary analysis was carried out by Professor José María Madiedo (Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía IAA-CSIC), PI of the SMART Project. His conclusions pointed to the next:
- Type of event: cometary
- Initial speed: 115.000 km/h
- Initial altitude: 111 km
- Final altitude: 69 km
The fireball started above Cuenca province, then moved southeastward, entering into Valencia province where it finished.
Below are the three videos registered with the external cameras operated at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería.
Calar Alto (CAHA) fireball detection station, together with the one at the Observatory of Sierra Nevada (IAA-CSIC) and others placed at different locations in Spain, are part of the S.M.A.R.T. project led by Professor José María Madiedo (IAA) to track that kind of objects. Specifically, Calar Alto (CAHA) station and the one at Sierra Nevada (IAA-CSIC) constitute a collaboration agreement between the IAA researcher José María Madiedo and both institutions.
