Fireball spotted across central Spain
May 12, 2007

Scientists think some fragments may have fallen to earth in the 
Ciudad Real area

A fireball fell across the centre of the country on Thursday night 
with sightings in Cuenca, Toledo, Ciudad Real and Valladolid.

Scientists believe it was a meteorite and say it's quite a normal 
phenomenon, possibly a fragment from a comet which fell from earth 
orbit.

Astronomers think that some of the fragments may have reached the 
ground in the Ciudad Real area and a search has been established. An 
email address has been established for those who may have any 
information - spmn at ieec.uab.es
