A suspected meteorite fragment recently tore through the roof of a Houston home, striking a child’s bedroom after residents reported seeing bright flashes and hearing a massive boom across the Texas city. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident, which left a significant hole in the ceiling and floor.
According to a Newsweek report, the Brenham Fire Department initially responded to reports of an explosion near Highway 50, believing the object might have fallen from a plane. However, they later confirmed it was likely a piece of a meteorite. Social media users commenting on the fire department’s Facebook post reported seeing a fireball and hearing a loud boom that lasted up to seven seconds.
