Longer than a minute to go across actually! Just checked how long the video was…

It’s always Elon musk- either landing or exploding

I think the meteorite is in outer space, not in Spain.

Wasn’t there a huge comet that passed over parts of Spain and Portugal last year or late 2023?
That one was spectacular.

I saw this. It was most likely space junk. I have made a video but it is potato quality, but in Internet I have seen a bunch of other videos from southeastern Spain that look better.
It looked so slow 🙂

Fourteen seconds is way too slow for a meteor. This was space junk.

Definitely space junk, it usually looks like this.

We had a meteor last year over Pittsburgh, PA USA. Very quick. The sound it made shattered windows. Scared the heck out of my dogs and me.

Any reports of a >THUMP!< in the area? Anyone spot a small crater?

14 seconds across the sky is almost certainly a man made object reentering. Meteors are almost always traveling much faster than that

*Meteor, if not space junk. It’s only a meteorite if it reaches the ground.

The Perseids is famous for Earth skimming meteorites. They move slower and some don’t burn ups.ll the way before returning to space.

Looks more like space junk, especially with that long of a hang time.
I’ve a partial video too, as it passes over the sea..
Second stage of a Falcon 9 reentry. Widely reported across Spain:

I’m so old, all I’m seeing is the [Battle of The Planets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acOnskcyrtA) ship transforming from Phoenix to Fiery Phoenix.
If the object was that slow, then it surely came from orbit. I’d say this is a rocket part
[Jonathan McDowell, who has been tracking objects to and from orbit for decades, identify this](https://x.com/planet4589/status/1954705604850733268) [as the upper stage from the rocket that performed the latest satellite launch from China on August 8, an interesting Vega-class rocket mainly using solid fuel motors and flies from an offshore ship.](https://x.com/cosmic_penguin/status/1953843840684896555)
