During the night of July 31, a fireball could be seen in the sky over Madrid. Until now, the origin of this meteorite was not known: it comes from comet 169P/NEAT, responsible for the Alpha Capricornid meteor shower that can be seen every year, as explained by the European Space Agency (ESA, for its acronym in English). This body entered the atmosphere at a height of 100 kilometers above Madrid and burned 77 kilometers above the province of Guadalajara. Before coming into contact with Earth, it is estimated that it had a size of about 10 centimeters. To understand the trajectory and origin of the icy body, images from cameras placed throughout Europe were used, including an ESA network camera.
