Video Footage of Texas Ground Shook by Meteor

NASA confirms half-ton meteor crashed in South Texas.

On Feb. 15, several law enforcement agencies near McAllen said they received calls from residents who heard what sounded like an explosion after 5 p.m. Houston Air Traffic Control received two reports from aircraft about a meteorite west of the city.

NASA experts believe the object weighed a whopping 1,000 pounds as it hurtled toward Earth last week, before breaking into pieces and landing near McAllen, Texas in the southern part of the state.

NASA said the meteorite doesn't appear to have caused any damage. But it did have the power of about 8 tons of TNT.
