Bright Light Seen in CenTex Sky is a Confirmed Meteor

Posted: Updated:

The KCEN HD Newsroom was flooded with phone calls and Facebook comments Wednesday evening after Central Texans saw a bright light streak across the night sky.

The FAA has confirmed that it was, in fact, a meteor.

Dash cam video from a Little River Police Department patrol car caught the image of the light shooting through the sky. The city's police chief just happened to have the camera running during a traffic stop.

There have been reported sightings of this meteor in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Bryan/College Station and even as far away as Kansas and Oklahoma. 

There have also been reports of a loud "sonic boom" associated with this meteor. So far, no confirmation on whether it ever hit the ground.
