After the impressive fireball of January 9^th, one day after, another object could be observed in this case above south Spain, between Málaga and Benalmádena.

SMART Project’s detectors registered this event. This time, the firewall was followed with the detectors operated at Calar Alto (Almería), La Hita (Toledo), Huelva, Sierra Nevada (Granada), La Sagra (Granada), Otura (Granada) and Seville observatories.

And again, two of the external cameras located at Calar Alto Observatory in Almería also recorded this nice fireball.

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.
