This is the spectacular moment a meteor lights up the sky in a dazzling fireball over Spain.

Locals witnessed the breathtaking bolide in Cordoba, Badajoz, and Caceres on October 27 at 20:17 UTC (21:17 CET).

The natural phenomenon displayed a stunning spectacle as the meteor disintegrated during its descent.

One observer from Estepa, Sevilla, described how the radiant object created an internal reflection in their lens, producing a ghostly image that trailed behind it.

Spain, located in the southern part of Europe, has many areas with clear skies and relatively low light pollution, particularly in rural regions. These conditions make for excellent viewing conditions for celestial events like this.
