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

Also someone reported it being very fast. Haven't seen reports of sonic
booms either.

I haven't been able to gather much from what the various witnesses have
reported so far. I do get the impression that it was probably a meteor and
not satellite debris because of the very short duration and fast speed. This
also could be describing a Lyrid shower member that peaks tomorrow night.
they have fast entry velocities. If it was a meteor, not likely dropped any
meteorites in my opinion. Probably just another OOooer and Ahhher.
