On September 16 at 20:50 UT, a fireball was observed in the skies of Spain, which fragmented into two pieces as it passed through the Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon was barely visible due to the time it occurred, at dusk. Unfortunately, a detailed analysis of the event could not be carried out, as it was only captured by the cameras of the Calar Alto Observatory (Almería) of the SMART Project.

On September 15 at 21:06 UT, the province of Toledo witnessed a brilliant fireball that crossed the sky towards Madrid, illuminating the night on its journey northward.

This astonishing event was captured by the detectors of the SMART Project, located at various observation points: Calar Alto (Almería), Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), Seville, Olocau (Valencia), and Faro de Cullera (Valencia).

Additionally, on this occasion, two of the external surveillance cameras at the Calar Alto Observatory in Almería managed to capture the magnificent phenomenon, providing us with unique images of this spectacular celestial event.

Two firewalls were registered with the SMART Project’s detector operated at Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Huelva and Seville observatories.

The first one took place at 20h28 UT, while the second one a few minutes after, and much brighter, at 20h33 UT.

Two of the external cameras operated at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería, could also record both events.

This year we are having many nice Perseids.

On August 12^th at 21h56 UT, and on August 13^th at 04h13 UT, two bright Perseids were registered with the SMART Project’s detectors opertated at Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada) and Seville observatories.

The external cameras at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería also could follow these events.

We are in the peak days of the Perseids. As an example, last night of August 8, at 22h41 UT, a very bright one was registerd with the SMART Project’s detectors operated at Calar Alto Observatory (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Huelva and Seville observatories.

This fireball was also followed with one of the external cameras located at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería.
