NASA says it was a meteor that many of you saw and heard over Southeast Texas Saturday - KHOU

NASA confirmed that a meteor was responsible for the bright flash and loud sounds witnessed across Southeast Texas on Saturday. Meteors entering Earth's atmosphere at high speed create visible light and sonic booms as they burn up or fragment, producing the distinctive sights and sounds reported by residents in the region. The agency's identification helps resolve speculation about the phenomenon's origin and reassures the public that the event posed no threat. Meteor sightings over populated areas often generate calls to local authorities and emergency services, making official confirmation important for public information.
