A booming meteor rocketed over Texas this weekend, rattling houses with a sonic boom, according to reports.

Authorities in West Texas and beyond received calls about possible explosions Sunday night.

It turned out to be a very bright meteor, according to the American Meteor Society.

About 40 people reported on the nonprofit group's website that they'd seen the fiery meteor in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado about 9 p.m.

Deputy Fire Marshal Nathan Hines said he heard what sounded like thunder in Snyder, about 80 miles west of Abilene, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

"You could see a flash, like if an electrical transformer flashes at night, up to our northwest," Hines said. "But it was cloudy here — kinda rainy — so we didn't actually see any kind of fireball or anything."

Mike Hankey, American Meteor Society operation manager, told the Avalanche-Journal that meteors fall daily, but only about 1 percent produce a sonic boom.

"A lot of people think it's something hitting the ground," he said. "Actually, like 10 miles up into the atmosphere creates that sonic effect that's like a rumbling sound or an exploding sound."

Some people said the noise rattled their doors and windows.

An observer in Jayton, about 90 miles northwest of Abilene, wrote on the American Meteor Society site that three people who were together outside "could see each other momentarily like daytime."

Weatherford police Officer Tiffany Vanzant caught the meteor on video bursting over the Parker County Courthouse.

"Officer Vanzant had a front-row seat to a truly spectacular sight, and thanks to her in-car camera and a little movie-making magic, we want to share it with everyone," the department said. "It is important to note that there were no space aliens hurt in the making of this video!"
