NASA says 1,000lb meteorite exploded over Texas last week
Briefly

A rock two-feet-wide last week hurtled toward Earth at 27,000 miles per hour - and exploded with an energy equivalent to eight tons of TNT into pieces that rained over McAllen, Texas.(That's 0.6 metres wide and 43,000 km per hour for you metric folks)
America's National Weather Service said a Geostationary Lightning Mapper instrument aboard one of its satellites detected a bright flash at around 17​​23 CST (2323 UTC) on February 15 over Southern Texas.
