As reported by Troy Kimmel, KEYE-TV Meteorologist in Austin, several viewers witnessed a bright meteor near Round Rock, Tx (north Austin) crossing the sky from west to east at an elevation of ~30 degrees between 7:55 and 8pm. The meteor was clearly visible for about 7 seconds.

My three oldest sons Justin,Jordan,and Jerod(GREEN) got to see this spectacle!(Between 7:55 and 8:00pm)They were walking together in Hubbard and noticed some kind of lighting causing shadows along the ground.They looked up to see this very bright bolide meteor!There was a sonic boom and it was breaking up as it went west to east in about 7 seconds with trailing effect.Their description matches all the others coming in.I loved hearing their story because they were so excited!It was their first bolide sighting!I am most interested in this sighting due to radar signatures signalling the breakup of the meteor.Fragments may be found in the coming days!---michael green-hubbard,texas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Visual Observing" <visual-astronomy@centexastronomy.org> To: <mlgreen777@hillsboro.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 9:47 PM Subject: Very bright meteor sighted in Austin <<$60452558187$>>
