On the same day, November 8th, in the late afternoon, another fireball appeared

It's safe to say we are having a lot of activity above us lately.

In the late afternoon of November 8th, at 7:26 PM UT, another fireball flew over southern Spain.

This time, the SMART Project stations that were able to register the event were those operated from the observatories located at Calar Alto in Almería, La Hita in Toledo, Sierra Nevada, La Sagra and Otura in Granada, Mazagón in Huelva, Huelva, and Seville.

Once again, two of the external cameras at the Calar Alto Observatory in Almería were able to track this object.

According to the preliminary analysis carried out by Professor José María Madiedo (Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia IAA-CSIC), PI of the SMART Project, the bolide was again caused by a fragment of Comet 2P/Encke that entered our atmosphere at a similar speed to the previous one, 106,000 km/h. The luminous part of the event began at an altitude of 104 km above the province of Jaén, in southern Spain, as shown on the left picture. The object moved west and slightly south, entering the province of Córdoba and ending south of the city of Córdoba at an altitude of 60 km above ground level.

Below are the two videos recorded by the external cameras of the 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.
