The fireball was spotted throughout Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
"I turned to my daughter [and] my neighbor Rose. We were like, what was that?" said Tara Gates. "We were amazed.""It’s most definitely a meteor," said Robert Lunsford from the American Meteor Society. "I’d estimate one to two meters in size. Maybe the size of a small car."Lunsford says the American Meteor Society’s data has created a possible trajectory for the meteor. According to Lunsford, the meteor likely landed within five miles of Austin.
Right now, it’s unknown if the meteor was a lone space rock or part of a larger ongoing meteor shower.
