Last June 24th, at 00h13 UT, while we were celebrating one of the most magical nights of the year (St. John's Night), the sky was crossed by a blazing trail with a ghostly appearance. It wasn’t a meteorite or a natural phenomenon, but the reentry of the second stage of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, part of the Transporter-14 mission.

Besides, this phenomenon repeated next day and three days after the satellite-train could also be observed crossing the sky.

External cameras from Calar Alto Observatory in Almería registered this event.
