We analyze the likely link between the recently discovered Near Earth Object2012XJ112 and a bright fireball observed over the south of Spain on December27, 2012. The bolide, with an absolute magnitude of -9 +- 1, was simultaneouslyimaged during the morning twilight from two meteor stations operated by theSPanish Meteor Network (SPMN). It was also observed by several casualwitnesses. The emission spectrum produced during the ablation of the meteoroidin the atmosphere was also recorded. From its analysis the chemical nature ofthis particle was inferred. Although our orbital association softwareidentified several potential parent bodies for this meteoroid, the analysis ofthe evolution of the orbital elements performed with the Mercury 6 symplecticintegrator supports the idea that NEO 2012XJ112 is the source of thismeteoroid. The implications of this potential association are discussed here.In particular, the meteoroid bulk chemistry is consistent with a basalticachondrite, and this emphasizes the importance to deduce from future Earthapproaches the reflectance spectrum and taxonomic nature of 2012XJ112.
