A meteor caught on Tape over Texas on Sunday February 15, 2009
Military says not related to Satellite collision last week. Any reports if this object made it to the ground??? I wonder how many times this happens over a year???

LOTS of spin & uncertainty over this, still; local Dallas news reported this morning that a small grass-fire broke out 100km south of town around the time the fireball was sighted as well as possible reports of multiple objects.
On second review of the video, I now think that the velocity of the fireball looks faster than the normal apparent velocity of re-entering junk. I hope that someone is doing a trajectory analysis; there sure looks like there should be something recoverable regardless of the object's nature. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
