A fireball brighter than the Full Moon was recorded on 8 July 2016 over the North of Africa, at 21:05:47 UT by several meteor-observing stations operating in Spain in the framework of the SMART Project. The analysis of the event, which was also witnessed by numerous casual observers along Spain, reveals that it was produced by an alpha-Capricornid meteoroid.
