Several witnesses near the flight path reported hearing a delayed sonic boom, indicating that small parts of the object may have survived on the ground.
A bright fireball was seen in the sky in the state of Texas in the USA, around 03:24, yesterday, July 25, 2022. It was reported by The Watchers.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) received 219 witness reports in the next few hours after the flyby.
“It’s a meteor if it doesn’t hit the ground. If it hits the ground, it’s a meteorite. We don’t know if it hits the ground or not, so we don’t know if it’s a meteor or a meteorite. But it can be said we’re really on fire.” balloon,” explained meteorologist Kevin Roth.
AMS also received reports of fireball sightings from Oklahoma and Louisiana.

A preliminary computer-generated trajectory shows that this fireball entered the atmosphere over Cistern, Texas, and ended its flight just a few miles west of Austin.
In addition, scientists found unprecedented types of crystals, which were collected from the dust of the Chelyabinsk meteorite that fell on the territory of Russia nine years ago.
Also, in early January 2022, astronomers from the Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona reported that an asteroid was approaching Earth with the highest risk of impact.
