abstract = {Meteorite-dropping bolides are rare
events that may provide unique samples coming from
other bodies in the Solar System. For this reason, the
analysis of such events is one of the aims of the SPanish
Meteor Network (SPMN), which is currently operating
25 meteor and fireball observing stations to
monitor the night sky. In the evening of August 10,
2012, about half an our before sunset, a very bright
fireball (at least mag. -14) was witnessed over the
northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. The event took
place under daylight conditions and, so, before our
detection systems started operation. However, its observation
was very favourable for numerous visual
witnesses that could account for it. So, despite no images
were recorded, the atmospheric path of the bolide
could be reconstructed from the observation provided
by these. In this work we present a preliminary analysis
of this event. Our calculations reveal that, in fact,
this fireball could have produced a meteorite, although
this would have landed on the Cantabrian Sea.},
