Hi All,

 

I've got it in a second radar (Amarillo). I'd say it's a solid fall
south of Post, TX.

Approximate coordinates of 33.06N, 101.36W.  Likely meteorite-producer

based on the strength of the radar returns.  -Rob

I'm skeptical.  OKC camera got it traveling from West to East over
Texas.  Unless there was another one.

Just received this from a friend:  "Evidence is mounting that a meteor
streaked across the skies of Texas and Oklahoma this evening before
breaking up over central Kansas with reports of debris hitting the
ground in area from near Kingman to Larned."

I was driving from Fort Worth to Dallas from 7:45 to 9:05pm CST. I saw
nothing!!! Got a path?, I'm guessing it was west of Fort Worth (to my
back). It could not have been bright enough to light up the entire sky.
