People living near Houston saw a bright light late Saturday afternoon. Many saw a streaking ray of light falling from the sky.
One woman says that loud boom and streaking ray of light crashed into her home.
Sherrie James, who lives in the Spring area, says a meteor crashed into her home Saturday afternoon just after 4pm, bursting through her ceiling landing in an upstairs bedroom.
James told KHOU the object tore through the roof, punched a hole in the ceiling, then bounced off the floor, ricocheted back into the ceiling, and landed near a TV. "We heard a big boom," she said. "My grandson went to check and said there was a hole in the ceiling… then I saw the rock, and I thought, 'that looks like a meteor.'"
Despite the damage to her home, thankfully nobody was injured in the incident.
NASA confirmed that a meteor was seen over the area Saturday, becoming visible over Stagecoach before moving southeast at about 35,000 miles per hour and breaking apart west of Cypress Station.
