A very bright meteor or possibly a piece of space junk burned up and could be seen over much of Texas last Sunday night.
There were several reports on social media from people seeing the fireball in North Texas down to Houston, according to a Armando Pena Junior captured a video of it around 10:30 p.m. in Hutto, north of Austin. Another person reported it shook a house south of Austin.
The AMS said most of the reports came from the Lone Star State, but several other reports were received from Oklahoma and Louisiana.The AMS describes fireballs as meteors that are larger and brighter than normal. Most meteors are only the size of pebbles or small rocks, but a meteor the size of a softball can produce light equivalent to a full moon in a matter of seconds.
