After the night of November 21st, with three fireballs above South Spain skies, on November 22nd at 00h54 UT another fireball illuminated the skies.

This object could be registered with the SMART Project's detectors operated at Calar Alto (Almería), Sierran Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), La Hita (Toledo) and Seville observatories.

This fireball could also be recorded with two of the Calar Alto Observatory external surveillance webcams.

These nights are plenty of fireballs. Due to this, the analysis of all of the events that are happening, takes some time. At present, this really nice fireball is still under investigation. The only fact is that this object was a Taurid.

Below are the videos that could be registered with the SMART Project's detector and with the two external surveillance cameras, all of them operated at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería (South Spain).

 

 


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.
