Huge booms, shaking walls were reported after a meteor streaks across the South Texas sky
Cesar Torres, Chief of Police in Mission, said 911 dispatchers took calls from panicked residents at about 5:28 p.m. who reported hearing what sounded like explosions. Other callers said the booms left the walls of their homes shaking.reported that their Geostationary Lightning Mapper, a satellite that measures lightning, recorded flashes of light in the atmosphere that were bright enough to be detected by their satellites at about 5:23 p.m. though there were no storms in the area at the time.
"Where the exact point of impact is unknown," said Guerra."No reports of any damage in that area have been received." U.S. Rep.
