Rednecks call 9-1-1 to report UFO over Texas

Experts say the fireball that blazed across the Texas sky and sparked numerous calls to authorities was probably a meteor.
Officials today announced the blaze was not falling space junk from last week's satellite collision.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the fireball appeared to be a natural phenomenon.
The object was visible yesterday morning from Austin to Dallas and into East Texas.
Astronomer Preston Starr is observatory manager at the University of North Texas.
Starr told The Associated Press he believes the object was a carbonaceous (kar-buh-NAY'-shus) meteor ``about the size of a pickup truck.''
He said it was a ``slow mover'' and probably has the consistency of concrete.
Starr says objects as large as the one spotted yesterday enter the atmosphere about eight or 10 times a year.

@ArbalestModel But calling 911 when it's not an emergency?  Only call 911 in the event of an emergency.

You have to catch a glimpse of this stuff. Fresh leaked documents Indicating govt research in to Unidentified flying objects! Just head to ufosecretXnet (replace X with . ) , they have them all archived there!

Yeah.. this really does seem like people were doing what you are supposed to do in the event of a falling fireball.

[EtsumiHikawa1111]

The dj's who did this really are not funny at all!

[Takerfan108]

The odds of that happening is still pretty slim due to the randomness of meteorite strikes.

This isn't funny. The people were doing exactly what they should have done, by reporting the sighting. The meteor could have hit a populated area and killed people.
