Meteor breaks up in Texas skies

Too slow to be a meteor and the multiple colors indicate different alloys.

My latest single Stargazing just landed!

A meteor breaking up in the Texas skies would likely be an exciting and dramatic event. As meteors enter Earth's atmosphere, they can heat up and break apart due to the friction with the air, creating a spectacular display of bright streaks and sometimes even fireballs. This is what’s known as a "meteor shower" or "fireball" when larger pieces of debris create visible explosions in the sky. Texas, with its vast open skies, is often a great location to witness such events. When a meteor breaks apart, it can create multiple fragments that streak across the sky, sometimes even leading to the discovery of meteorites on the ground if any larger pieces survive the intense heat of entry. These events often draw attention from skywatchers, astronomers, and even media outlets, as they’re relatively rare and awe-inspiring. If the meteor was particularly large or dramatic, there may have been reports from witnesses describing the scene, and local officials might even investigate for any potential meteorite falls.

I read earlier this was a starlink satellite burning up.

It's a human satellite or rocket re-entry

This kind of stuff never ceases to amaze me just how small we are in this universe

More likely re-entry of space junk.

Was this taken with a Nokia flip phone?

Wow amazing 😍😍

the Taurid meteor showers are currently active, with the Southern Taurids peaking around November 5 and the Northern Taurids expected to peak on November 12. These meteor showers are known for producing bright fireballs, which could account for any unusual lights observed in the sky.
