UPDATE: watch a video of the South Texas fireball. With all the meteor madness of late, it's really hard to accept the explanation that the fireballs seen for miles in Texas and Louisiana were the debris of a Chinese rocket re-entering the atmosphere. Why? Because that would mean - according to NASA - that the closest asteroid flyby in centuries (2012 DA14), the catastrophic (but fortunately not deadly) meteor crash in Russia, and all the other huge meteors being seeing around the globe of late, including this one, are all completely unrelated! Not to mention, the Houston area - which had one of the best views of this fireball, recently experienced a wave of UFOs, seeming to eerily anticipate this event. You might begin to wonder if there's something going on over on the sun or out there in space, something that's causing everything from rockets to asteroids to plunge into us. What do you think the recent "UFO" in Texas was? Did you see it? If so, send us your take on it, and if you've got photos or videos to share, bring them on! Below is a video made about the Texas/Louisiana "meteor," and it's a nice recap: This video prompted a bunch of comments, theorizing about what this fireball could be, from drones to Planet X: Yeah if they was over my home I damn sure would! My boyfriend saw them, he had witness to it, he's not into the YouTube stuff, at all! But a very smart man, I shown him what I saw three weeks ago, flying really low over highway 19 in grapeland TX, Houston county, it looked big, I thought a jet was crashing, then the direction the drone plane went DPS was sitting, on a FM road, so does the state of TX have drones? Flying over us? -Twisterbar

UPDATE: watch a video of the South Texas fireball. "Every color of the rainbow has been reported with orange and yellow being most mentioned ... may be the re-entry of a Chinese rocket" AMSMeteors.com
I counted eight meteor looking small fireballs streaking in formation right to left from a 123 degree angle, for about 2 minutes. 3 of the meteors or comets exploded the other eight kept a perfect formation. I never witnessed such a moment at 3am central time 2/27/13 I was jogging in Sweeny, Tx on 1108 early st. 77480, looking from north to south, they appeared from a southerly direction and lasted about 2 min. heading and dissapearing in a northerly direction. - Lester D. of Sweeny, TX And a UFO sighting out of Baytown submitted to MUFON which was clearly of this same phenomenon: I woke up at approx 3.00am, used the restroom and was looking out of a large window which has a view of Cotton Lake and beyond to Trinity Bay in Chambers county, I noticed lights approaching over the lake from the southeast. The lights 10 to 20 were configured in a cigar shaped line, moving rapidly, heading in a northwest direction. At first I thought it may be a group of helicopters, we often see helicopters doing night maneuvers in this area. As the lights got closer I realized that they were not helicopter or aircraft lights. The lights were white/blue and varied continously in intensity and position in the line, it was hard to judge how far away the object or objects were from me, there was no sound associated.I last saw the lights as they pasted on the northeast side of my home. I wondered if I was seeing a meteor shower, but the sighting lasted about 30 seconds and was not moving as rapidly as I would expect for meteor, it also appeared to be close As suggested by another witness to this event (read quotes above), someone chimed in on an astronomy group forum at Yahoo with his interpretation of the event: I suspect that this fireball was the re-entry of the Chinese CZ-4B rocket that launched Yaogan 14 on May 10 last year. This has a NORAD catalog ID of 38259 and an international designation of 2012-021C. The latest TIP message on Spacetrack (issued at 12:16 UTC) suggests that this decayed just after crossing the equator northbound near 3degN Even more witness reports can be read at lunameteoritehunters.blogspot.com.
Could this be related to recent Houston UFO flap or meteor outbreak all over the world? Read a more recent blog theorizing about this sighting.
Some friends driving down the road were distracted by a group of orange orbs/lights moving about the sky and forming an unmistakable triangle. What's unique is there are actually TWO videos of the sighting. One shows the orbs in a random formation, while the other shows them forming a triangle. Honestly, it all looks a lot like the February 16th triangle UFO sighting in nearby Plano. Could these events be related? The clearer footage, posted by audisandoval: And some commentary from the video: "What the f*** is that, dude? UFOs?" And the second video, posted by his friend yavuzedgu: The Plano triangle sighting for comparison: On a bizarre, but possibly related note, A Dallas, TX resident tweeted about a sonic boom they heard on the same day.
A resident of Poteet, TX watched a strange object in the sky - circular and dark - silently float through the sky and then vanish. While there are many explanations for this sighting (satellite, optical illusion, the usual, etc), this witness is very sure this was a true-blue UFO. Clear night stars and moon viable ..uncle pointed out object in the sky which seemed to be flowting, object was flowting towards the north west keeping its speed and altitude..the cercular object seemed to be tilted and had a dark center , center was not transparent. There was no sound coming from object no smoke trail ether. Object just continued to move till it vanished. We had no words to discrib what we saw but we know it was not a human driven craft of any kind
On February 16th, there was an apparent orb sighting in San Antonio - captured on video and uploaded to the YouTube account SAUFOTX, which has been collecting personal sightings for a while now. The video is believable and great, but the credibility of its uploaded is... questionable. There are only two scenarios: either (A) The same type of orb keeps showing up at the witness' house and flying close enough to the house, so there's always the house's roof line in the video. Or (B) An opportunistic YouTuber keeps posting the same video over and over again, repackaging it as a new, recent sighting. Here's the most recent video, which features (annoying) ominous music and no commentary: And the February 16th sighting, which features actual commentary from the witnesses: Thoughts?
