NASA CONFIRMS THAT 1000-POUND METEOR STRIKES TEXAS

Texas was the site of a 1,000-pound meteor strike, according to NASA. Scientists think the space rock fragmented before impacting the ground around 6 p.m. on Wednesday near McAllen, Texas, according to Fox News.

“Despite the fact that meteorites often strike Earth’s atmosphere at great speeds, they slow down as they pass through it and fracture into minute pieces before they impact the ground. Meteorites cool quickly and often pose no danger to people, “In a statement, NASA added.

The location where the meteorites most likely landed is depicted on a map that was issued by the space agency. During the weekend, at least one piece was discovered in Starr County. What do you folks think about this?
