Hundreds report seeing fireball in sky
AUSTIN — Hundreds of Texans are giving online accounts of seeing a massive bright ball of light streak across the nighttime sky.
The Austin American-Statesman reported people from the Dallas-Fort Worth area west to Abilene and south to Waco, Austin, San Antonia and Houston said they saw the white fireball at about 9 p.m. Saturday. Most people said they saw one, but a few said they saw a second smaller flash.
American Meteor Society scientist Robert Lunsford says it was likely a very bright meteor or fireball.
