    Here's another article in Spanish about the fireball(s) 
    over Spain; this one has a map showing that it(they) 
    was(were) sighted from NW Spain to the Balearic Islands 
    -- a very long distance:

    There are reports of loud sounds in at least a couple 
    of places and at least one fallen object -- plus fires 
    started.  (Oh, dear!)
    
    I haven't yet seen any duration of the event.  So far I 
    haven't seen anything about a matching satellite re-entry.
    
    Another cloudy night here.  I've bought some 8x42 
    binoculars, 8.2-degree field of view, and hope to try 
    them out on a clear night!
