mmmmm
If you were looking outside just before 7 p.m. Tuesday, you may have seen something really bright flying quickly through the sky. We had a fireball in the skies over Central Texas!

The American Meteor Society received multiple reports of a bright ball in the sky over different parts of the state around that time. Tuesday night's fireball comes during the Geminid meteor shower, which peaks on Saturday.

A viewer driving along 183 N in Leander caught video of the fireball on their dashcam around 6:45 p.m.

A fireball is created when a meteoroid — small rocky or icy space debris — burns up as a meteor when entering Earth's atmosphere. If that meteor creates a bright enough light and is brighter than the planet Venus, then it's known as a fireball.
