Mass Meteor Sighting in Texas - See Video!

• When: January 24th, 2014
• Where: All across Texas and other parts of the US
• What: Large meteor sighting

AMSMeteors.org has received a suspiciously steady stream of dramatic fireball reports since the new year, and the night of the January 24th was a definite highlight. Central up to North Texas got a glimpse of a pretty fantastic shooting star. One person - driving through the Garland area of Dallas - captured in on camera and uploaded the footage to YouTube:

Driving west on I-635 just past La Prada drive. Looks too high and bright to be a flare. The timestamp on the video is an hour later because I forgot to change the timezone after DST ended.

Ever since the infamous Valentines Day meteor struck Russia, above average meteor sightings have been a constant and almost concerning reality of late! Check out some more witness reports:

Most amazing, vivid and closest display of light and movement I've ever seen in the night sky here, and I've lived here for YEARS. Absolutely stellar (pun intended)! Please keep me informed as you can; so very curious for some details. Thank you! - Courtney P

It seemed to be really close to Earth, it was scary. - Carolina B.

I head a local astronomy group, the Odyssey Astronomy Club, which holds regular stargazing viewing sessions.... It was the best fireball I've seen in years.- David W
