Last week people across more than a dozen states spotted what nasa says was a meteor streaking across the sky. Saturday night it was texas turn as the fireball lit up the night skies and the 911 phone lines from hundreds of anxious callers. Abcs tom llamas has the story. Reporter across Central Texas, many are asking, did you see it . That fire in the sky that some say caused a sonic boom. We heard an explosion here. Reporter you can see the fireball on this dash cam video. And look at it here on this Police Cruiser cam. Nasa confirming to abc news it was a meteor. Four feet long, 4,000 pounds traveling 55,000 miles per hour. It looked like it went across into mexico. Through the sky. Overseas, check out this one streaking over japan. Nasa estimates nearly 50 tons of meteorite reach our atmosphere every single day. The reason we dont have to wear helmets . The vast bulk of it burns up in the atmosphere. But massive space rocks sometimes do hit and hit big. Like last year in russia. The shockwave blowing out windows. Hundreds injured. Right now the time to be looking up, three different meteor showers peppering earth, meaning well see more of these images that are out of this world. Tom llamas, abc news, new york. Pretty cool. I dont think id believe it if they told me that were a meteor. No, its something bigger than that. We watch too many movies. Its true. We think these things are going to hit and destroy civilization. I always think something dramatic is going to happen to me. Oh, my goodness, this is it. No, its just a meteor. Most of them burn up and dont even reach ground. Even those that do reach, they say maybe the biggest risk, one of these could take out a city. Thats a pretty big risk. That doesnt make me feel better. Dont miss our updates on facebook at wnnfans.
