Sunday’s great Texas fireball was – probably – just a meteor.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Strategic Command said the bright lights witnessed over Texas skies were almost certainly not linked to last week’s collision between an American commercial satellite and a Russian government communications satellite.
“Our indication is this was a natural phenomenon, perhaps something like a meteor,” said Air Force Maj. Regina Winchester, a spokeswoman for the Space Surveillance Network, part of the Pentagon’s Strategic Command arm that tracks space debris.
