AB The identification of their progenitorbodies is crucial to increase our knowledge on theorigin and evolution of meteoroid streams. Traditionally,the similarity between two orbits has been used tolink a given meteoroid stream with a potential parentbody. This similarity was first expressed in terms ofthe so-called D-criterion, which was originally proposedby Southworth and Hawkins [1]. Alternativeversions of this criterion have been proposed by otherauthors [2-5]. In order to establish a relationship betweenthe orbit of the meteoroids and that of their potentialparent bodies, the availability of precise orbitalparameters is fundamental. Due to the chance of findingwrong parent body candidates, it is also crucial tointegrate the orbits of the bodies backwards in time toanalyze the evolution of these criteria and to establishreal (not casual) connections [6]. In this work we analyzea double-station fireball imaged in the frameworkof the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN). By using theMercury 6 symplectic integrator [7] and orbital associationsoftware developed by us [8], we have identifieda NEO as the progenitor body of the parent meteoroid.
