  We analyze the likely link between the recently discovered Near Earth Object
2012XJ112 and a bright fireball observed over the south of Spain on December
27, 2012. The bolide, with an absolute magnitude of -9 +- 1, was simultaneously
imaged during the morning twilight from two meteor stations operated by the
SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN). It was also observed by several casual
witnesses. The emission spectrum produced during the ablation of the meteoroid
in the atmosphere was also recorded. From its analysis the chemical nature of
this particle was inferred. Although our orbital association software
identified several potential parent bodies for this meteoroid, the analysis of
the evolution of the orbital elements performed with the Mercury 6 symplectic
integrator supports the idea that NEO 2012XJ112 is the source of this
meteoroid. The implications of this potential association are discussed here.
In particular, the meteoroid bulk chemistry is consistent with a basaltic
achondrite, and this emphasizes the importance to deduce from future Earth
approaches the reflectance spectrum and taxonomic nature of 2012XJ112.
