Residents of the area near Madrid airport reported seeing a ball of fire
explode and disintregrate in skies over the Spanish capital overnight,
security services said.

Emergency services received telephone calls about 10:30 pm (2130 GMT)
Thursday reporting the object, described by some callers as looking like
a meteorite, which was seen exploding and disintegrating. Subway
employee Jose Antonio Lopez told EFE news agency that when he went home
from work, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the capital, he saw a
"huge, very red incandescent ball giving off a huge flash then
disappeared after a few seconds."
