[quote]KEYE TV has received several calls of fireballs falling from the sky. Eye-witnesses say the event began around 11:00a.m. Central time.

The FAA issued a warning Friday saying, “...possible satellite debris falling across the region... The national weather service in Jackson [KY] has received calls this Evening from the public concerning possible explosions and...or Earthquakes across the area. The federal aviation administration has reported to local law enforcement that these events are being caused by falling satellite debris. These pieces of debris have been causing Sonic booms...resulting in the vibrations being felt by some Residents...as well as flashes of light across the sky. The cloud of Debris is likely the result of the recent in orbit collision of two Satellites on Tuesday...February 10th when Kosmos 2251 crashed into Iridium 33."

Officials at Austin Bergstrom Intertational Airport say they have received several calls as well, including operators from 911 inquiring about the incident but they have no confirmed reports of falling debris or impact areas.

There have been no confirmed reports of anything falling according to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, "whatever it is may have burned up in the atmosphere."

KEYE TV viewer Steve Thornton says, “I saw something burn up in the atmosphere going east to west at 40 degrees on the horizon looking north. There was no smoke trail. It was about the size of a half moon and as bright as a welders torch.â€

Hopefully none of it comes down on houses, but I'm glad it's getting out of orbit.
