AB Dust ejecta of comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke produces the June Bootid meteoroid stream[1]. This gives rise to an annual display of meteorsfrom about June 22 to July 2, with a maximum activityaround June 28. A continuous monitoring of meteorand fireball events during the activity period of thismeteor shower gives an interesting opportunity to analyzethe dust from this comet. Besides, a recent studyreveals that it is possible that this comet may producelarge meteoroids that under some conditions couldsurvive the atmospheric entry and reach the ground asmeteorites [2]. So, the analysis of the debris producedby this comet can give valuable information about thephysico-chemical properties of these particles and canalso improve our understanding of the mechanismsthat deliver these cometary materials to the Earth.These properties include not only radiant and orbitalparameters, but also chemical information provided bythe emission spectra produced during the ablation ofthese meteoroids in the atmosphere.Although the activity of this meteor shower wasnot extraordinary on 2009, two of the meteor observingstations operated by the SPanish Meteor Network(SPMN) simultaneously imaged a June Bootid fireballwith an absolute magnitude of about -9±1 on July 5.The analysis of this event is made here.
