Did you see a mysterious fireball shoot across the night sky on July 25th? Me neither. But, it happened, and it's yet to be identified, which is kind of unsettling...

34 reports to the American Meteor Society came from California, Mexico, and Texas concerning the strange incident.  A witness in New Mexico said they eventually saw the object break apart. Now, the internet is ablaze with various opinions and theories as to what exactly it was...

The department chair of San Diego State's Astronomy Department seems to think it's some kind of space junk from Japan. He told NBC 7 that it could be a Japanese booster rocket from a space launch back in 2010.

Witness Rebecca Woods of San Marco, California told the same news outlet that she thought it could have been a Starlink launch because of the similar trajectory, but there weren't any scheduled for the date and time.

The American Meteor Society receives hundreds of reports each. They are kept on a public list on their website. If you happen to see something strange in the sky, check their list before you panic. There could be a reasonable explanation that will clear up your questions.

As far as this fireball goes, I'm going to trust that Japanese space junk theory, until any new information comes out...
