"Hundreds of eyewitnesses in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma report seeing a very bright fireball last night at 8:58 PM Central Daylight Time," the agency said in a Facebook post on Monday.

"Analysis of their reports, combined with information obtained from a couple of videos from public/amateur cameras, shows that the meteor was first seen 48 miles above Texas Highway 11, between Sulphur Springs and Winnsboro.

"The fireball was at least as bright as a quarter moon, which translates to something bigger than 6 inches in diameter with a weight of 10 pounds

The slow speed (for a meteor) suggests a small piece of an asteroid produced the fireball," it added. 

Fireballs are a common occurrence and NASA has programs devoted to tracking the exceptionally bright meteors
