Thanks to Allen Thomson on SeeSat-L for forwarding a link 
to a Spanish newspaper report of a big fireball/bolide over 
northwestern Spain.  It occurred a few minutes before 6:00 
PM Sunday January 4 local time and was seen over a long 
track moving west to east ("este" which Babelfish translated 
as "this"!).  An astronomer in Spain ventured to estimate 
that the meteoroid weighed from 50 to 100 tons.

Babelfish will *roughly* translate the article:
