Girona, Spain - December 20, 2024 A bright meteorite, the size of a fist, streaked across the sky over the Gulf of León, off the coast of Girona, at 5:34 AM UTC (6:34 AM CET) on December 20. The meteoroid, traveling at an impressive speed of 85,000 km/h, entered the atmosphere and was visible from several locations, including Sant Celoni and Barcelona. Despite its lower speed, the meteorite’s radiant suggests it may have been an Ursid meteor from a disrupted orbit near Earth. Its luminous trail, caused by ablation, appeared at altitudes between 78 and 44 km above sea level.
