A celestial event unfolded across parts of Texas on 21 March, as a bright fireball streaked across the evening sky, drawing widespread attention from residents and sparking scientific interest, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Centre (NASA) reported.
Eyewitnesses reported spotting the luminous object at approximately 4:40 pm CDT (local time), describing it as a fast-moving blaze cutting through the atmosphere. According to preliminary data, the meteor first became visible at an altitude of around 49 miles above Stagecoach, located northwest of Houston. The fragmentation reportedly occurred at an altitude of 29 miles above Bammel, an area situated just west of Cypress Station.
Experts indicate that the meteor, weighing nearly a tonne and measuring approximately three feet in diameter, disintegrated due to the immense pressure and heat generated upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The breakup resulted in a powerful pressure wave, which led to audible booms heard by several residents across nearby regions.
