Fireball Spotted in Texas, Sonic Booms Heard

Residents in Austin and Dallas, Texas reported seeing at least one fireball in the sky Sunday. Several sonic booms were also reported. The sightings come less than a week after two satellites collided in space. The Federal Aviation Administration warned pilots Saturday to watch for “falling space debris” from the satellites.

FAA spokesman Roland Herwig said the warning was “probably from NORAD,” or the North American Aerospace Defense Command. NORAD tracks man-made objects in space.

No ground strikes or interferences with aircraft were reported. Residents reported seeing what appeared to be a “meteor-like” fireball shooting across the sky and sonic booms early Sunday morning.

Last week, a Russian satellite and an American satellite collided and produced two large debris clouds, according to NASA. The collision produced an estimated 500 to 600 pieces of space debris.

Speculation that the fireball was debris re-entering the earth’s atmosphere and not a meteor has not been confirmed.
