Early this morning around 6:30 am there was yet another fireball in
Texas sky. And this one was seen from West, TX, southeast to Iola, and
throughout Madison county Texas. Anyone up for another trip to Texas?

---------------------------------------------------
Calls and emails continue to come into News 3 about a mysterious
"fireball" in the sky around 6:30 Monday Morning .

Witnesses to the flaming object have contacted us from across the Brazos
Valley. All describe it falling in the Western Sky. One viewer said she
saw it above the Kroger in College Station.


Another viewer said she saw it as she was driving on Wellborn Road in
College Station.

We also received an email from another viewer who saw it in Madison County.

Another person driving from Houston to Waco says she saw it just above
the horizon and says the flame only lasted a few seconds.

News 3 continuous to call to find out what exactly the fireball was or
was not.
---------------------------------------------------

Could it be yet another meteorite dropping fireball around the same area
within 3 months of another major US fall? Or do you chalk it up to
increased awareness caused by the West fall and other national news
stories? Are that many more people looking to the skies?

So what's the deal?
