A bright meteor streaked across the Texas sky, creating loud sonic booms and widespread concern among residents.
According to reports, the meteor was first seen at an altitude of nearly 49 miles above northwest of Houston before travelling at an estimated speed of around 35,000 miles per hour. It continued its path southeast and eventually broke apart mid-air at about 29 miles above the ground.
The breakup of the meteor generated a powerful pressure wave, which was heard as loud booms across several areas. Many residents initially mistook the sound for an explosion or thunder, while others reported seeing a bright flash in the sky.
Eyewitnesses described the event as a sudden, fast-moving fireball, with some noting a greenish flash and rumbling sounds that shook buildings. Authorities received multiple calls reporting a possible explosion, but no immediate evidence of damage was found.
Further analysis suggests that fragments from the meteor may have reached the ground, with radar systems detecting debris in parts of the region. Experts continue to study the event to better understand its composition and trajectory.
