Thanks for posting that Rothkko.

Toward the end of the clip something that appears to follow the main body shows up below and behind this object. Any ideas at to what the trailing lights might be?

una mosca? que llamamos en fotografía... un efecto de lente por la sobreexposición?
one fly? we call in photography ... a lens effect by overexposure?

There is an article about this here in today's issue of the periodical ABC published in Madrid

It is of course in Spanish, but presumably Google Translate can be of assistance to those who need it! Trayectoria del bólido rozador sobre la Península

This is a short account in English
The Daily Mail also has an account, but, on principle, I don't link to that "newspaper".

Later edit.,I've just discovered this website: http://www.meteorite-times.com/meteor-meteorite-news/

Si, a lens effect due to overexposure makes perfect sense.
