NEWS REPORT:

An exceptionally bright meteor was seen over Spain and Portugal at 22:46 UTC on May 18, 2024 (00:46 local time, May 19), lighting up the night sky with a bright blue glow for several seconds and leaving a persistent trail in its wake.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that pieces of the meteor fell in the town of Pinheiro and near the town of Castro Daire, approximately 40 km (24 miles) south-southeast of Pinheiro. Both locations are in northern Portugal.

While these reports are plausible, based on the fireball’s trajectory and its angle of entry into the atmosphere, it is likely that most, if not all, pieces ended up in the Atlantic Ocean.

The meteor was described as unreal, massive, and a once-in-a-lifetime event.

2) A TODO COLOR DESDE #MADRID por el Dr. Jaime Izquierdo @ObservaUCM @Fisicas_UCM. En palabras de nuestro coordinador, el astrofísico @Josep_Trigo @ice_csic “Fue un bólido de origen cometario en una trayectoria bastante rasante que se extendió sobrevolando #Cáceres hasta #Oporto” pic.twitter.com/LnsKBQHq0b— Red Investigación Bólidos y Meteoritos (SPMN) (@RedSpmn) May 19, 2024

According to astrophysicist Dr. Josep M Trigo of CSIC-IEEC, this bolide had a cometary origin and was on a fairly low trajectory that extended over Caceres, Spain to Oporto, Portugal.

This would make the total distance of about 300 km (160 miles).
