Fireball Over Texas 'Turned Night Into Day'

A fireball seen streaking through the sky in Lakeway, Texas, "turned night to day," according to a police officer who witnessed the event.

A police cruiser dashcam videotaped the streak at about 11 p.m. Wednesday.

Hundreds of residents who witnessed the bright light in the sky called police and media, KNBC-TV reported.

"A police officer who captured the video said the light turned night into day," Local 6's Jacqueline London said.

Astronomers said the light was either a meteor fireball or space junk entering the atmosphere, according to the report.
