AB In 2010 the Spanish Meteor Net-work (SPMN) started a special program to obtain veryprecise orbital information on 2P/Encke meteoroidsthat is currently the focus ofthe author master thesis[1, 2]. The orbital similitude is a clear evidenceon theconnection between comets and meteor streams. Thecontinuous sublimation of the ice-rich regions incometary nuclei produces outgassing capable to re-lease cm tom-sized particles from cometary nuclei.This is the main way to produce meteoroid streamsshowers [3,4,5]. Another feasible physical process toproduce cometary debris in heliocentric orbit is thedisruption of a comet that explains the formation ofabout ten meteoroid streams [6,7,8]. This secondpathway produces far larger particles that sometimescan even be in the meter scale and can explain verybright bolides associated with some meteor showers[8]. Unfortunately, large bolides are rare events so inorder to study them a continuous sky monitoring isrequired which is the only way to collect informationon the dynamic origin and physical behavior of largebolides penetrating Earth’s atmosphere. So far we havedescribed different cases related to the Taurid complex[1,2]. Several Near Earth Objects (NEOs) have beendynamically associated with the Taurid complexclearly suggesting that the progressive disruption of alarger cometary progenitor is the source of this com-plex of bodies [9, 10]. In the current abstract we focusin a Taurid fireball named SPMN 201112 recorded onNovember 20th, 2012 at 2h16m15.6s UTC
