While we are here in Texas just taking care of our daily tasks and going about our day, it’s amazing how many things are going on around us. The reason I bring this up is because this past weekend there was a meteor that was spotted over North Texas, and there is video proof. 

As I was scrolling on social media, I saw that Dallastexas_tv shared a video on their TikTok channel that showed a meteor shower that was spotted on Saturday night. There are hundreds of comments wondering if that meteor shower is what caused approximately 30 large boom sounds in the area.  

Some Not Convinced it Was a Meteor Shower Over Texas 

It’s amazing to me how much the earth is moving around us and we are so caught up in our own daily lives that we don’t realize how much is changing. Although there are some people on social media that don’t believe this was a meteor breaking apart. 

As you look through the comment section some believe this to be a satellite breaking apart, because they believe a meteor would be much brighter in the sky.

I’m no expert on the topic, so I am not sure, but I will say the video looks pretty incredible. 

Funniest Part of the Meteor Video in Texas 

While watching the video for the first time I couldn’t help but laugh at the comment heard as someone was asking if someone was shooting missiles at us. I’m glad no one was in fact shooting missiles. Did you get to see it on Saturday?
