Three cameras of the Belarusian Meteor Network (BMN) in Minsk and Gayany recorded a bright fireball on 8th January 2024 at 01:30:24 UTC. Calculations using UFOOrbit showed that the meteoroid belonged to the Atens group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the Earth’s orbit from the inner side (objects-like the asteroid Apophis). Camera in Gayany captured the 1st and 2nd order spectra which showed a typical picture for a meteoroid of chondritic composition. The event was also analysed in terms of meteorite fall, resulting in the calculated strewn field near Rovanichi, Minsk Oblast, Belarus.
