"This Experience was Really Strange" - Possible Meteor Crash in San Antonio?

• When: April 18th, 2014
• Where: San Antonio
• What: Green light followed by loud boom (a few nights prior, there was a mass meteor sighting in the mid west)
  

Thelio C. of San Antonio witnessed a green light streak down from the sky, flash, and then disappear - he then heard a boom. The witness was shaken by the experience and are not sure what they saw. Fortunately you can read a detailed testimony that they submitted to the site:

Me and two friends were hanging out playing guitar and looking at the sky, when around 4am, we saw a strange green light coming down from the sky, it then flashed the whole city and disappeared. Some lights in the skyline went off for about 3 seconds after that.

We were in shock, and right after, a loud boom occurred in the horizon which freaked us out even more.

About 2 minutes later, the moon which was covered by clouds the entire night, appeared and it was a bright full moon. It seemed as though the clouds formed a big hole for us to see the moon and stopped moving for approximately 10 minutes. It felt like everything paused for a while.

I am a really rational person, and usually don't believe in anything supernatural, but this experience was really strange and I can't figure out what really happened.

We took a few pictures but they all suck since all we have is iPhones.

A few nights prior, someone reported hearing loud booms in San Antonio but that was probably related to firework celebrations in the area. That same night, however, (the 13th) there was a pretty dramatic fireball reported in the mid west and some Texans caught a glimpse. Browse a few of those reports, which can be found in full on AMSMeteors.org, below:

THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A SMALL PLANE CRASHING, I WAS OUTSIDE FOR 1/2 HOUR WAITING TO SEE A FIRE ON THE HORIZON. NOTHING.

Seems like it was about to land. Maybe 2-3 miles from me. I was driving east bound on Shea. It probably landed near the 101 freeway.

April 13th Fireball Sightings

I SAW A REMARKABLE OBJECT, WE ARE ASTRONOMERS AND OFTEN VIEW THE NIGHT SKIES, THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL EVENT. IT LOOKED LIKE A ROUND OBJECT AS BIG AS A FULL MOON WITH GREEN AND YELOW AND BLUISH COLOR. IT DID NOT HIT ANYWHERE AND LIT UP THE WHOLE SKY. TO ME IT WAS NOT A METEORITE, I KNOW WHAT A METEORITE LOOKS LIKE. WE ARE VIEWERS OF THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER AND THIS WAS NOTHING LIKE A METEOR. IT ALSO LOOKED LIKE IT WAS SWIRLING.
-Diana D of Texas

Looks like meteor activity has picked up over the last few days and has been rather intense - so intense that even astronomers are questioning what they're looking at.

Have you seen a meteor-like sighting in Texas recently? Report it!
