NASA: Fireball over Houston was meteor
Shortly before 7 a.m. Friday, a fireball lit up the skies over Houston.
Shortly thereafter, Houstonians lit up Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites to note the streak.
But what was it: A meteor? A piece of a Russian satellite? A sign of the coming Mayan apocalypse?
The answer didn’t come until Friday afternoon, when NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke provided a definitive answer.
“It is a meteor, most likely a fragment from the asteroid belt and not associated with the Geminid meteor shower,” he said.
According to Cooke, eyewitnesses in Texas and adjacent states saw a very bright fireball streak across the sky at 6:43 a.m. It was so bright, a NASA meteor camera in Mayhill, N.M., spotted it some 500 miles to the west.
