Abstract
One of the aims of the SPanish Meteor
Network (SPMN) is the recovery and analysis of
meteorites. So, we focus special attention on very
bright fireballs, as under appropriate conditions these
unusual events may give rise to meteorite falls. For
this purpose we operate 25 meteor observing stations
that monitor the night sky over Spain and neighbouring
areas. These provide useful data for the determination
of radiant, orbital, photometric and chemical parameters
[1, 2, 3]. In this context, we present here the
first results of the analysis of a superbolide observed
over the Iberian Peninsula on July 13, 2012.
