Initial Reports:
07DEC2012 Martha Liebrum Houston 6:45 a.m. 4 seconds? Northeast to West Multi streaming colors, huge bright Same as moon Not that I saw Light attracted my attention...
07DEC2012 Jamie League City, TX, USA 6:41:00 3 seconds W-E, traveling North bright green, larger than a shooting star brighter than Venus, no It looked like a very bright firework, long streak in the sky.
07DEC2012 Corie Irving, TX 643 5-7 sec E/SE Bright Sun yes. In the very early dawn sky I saw a bright contrail with a dark gap in the sky followed by a bright ball of light, all of which quickly disappeared.
07DEC2012 Jim Dallas Texas 6:45 CST 5 sec SE Bright streak looked like rocket trail still breaking up less than 100 yards from ground. Traveling at extreme rate of speed Venus Yes I will be very surprised if a business or home wasn't hit. Fell in very populated area
07DEC2012 Martin Mueller Richardson, TX, USA 645 4 seconds max Left to Right, Facing South White, in car no sound Sun Yes Very fast and Bright, discintegrating
07DEC2012 Robert Irving, Texas 06:40 AM CST 2 seconds? Left to Right. Facing South. Neon Greenish Blue rather bright. Moon-brightness no fragments Greenish-blue neon trail. Approximate angle of descent 60 degrees from left to right while facing south. Trail was rather thick. Seemed close to my location, but that was probably an optical illusion.
07DEC2012 Mike Dallas, TX 6:40am CT 5 Seconds South Bright Flash Very bright flash - like a large flash on a camera Don't think so I was heading SW on Hwy 121 and looked to my south near the Coppell/Grapevine/DFW Airport area. There was a flash that filled the sky and then a streak of red/orange fire that was very thick and then dissappeared close to horizon. It almost looked like the fire and flash was over DFW airport, but I think it was further south.
07DEC2012 Sara Seabrook, TX 640 Less than one second N-E to N-W. I was facing N-W The sun was coming up and made it appear orange/pinkish. Did not hear a sound as I was driving in my truck with the radio on. Lit up the sky for a split second No I've seen meteors fall to the ground before, as an eye witness and on videos. This one had no trail while entering the atmosphere. It was already close to earth when it appeared and it happened in just a split second and lit up the whole sky in front of me. If I would have blinked, I would have missed it. I've never seen one travel that fast.

07DEC2012 Kim SUGAR LAND, TX 06:44 CST 5 sec meteor was traveling E-W; I was driving toward NE I didn't see the actual explosion as I was driving and it occurred off my left shoulder. My car light up like someone took a flash photo inside and when I looked out the car window I saw renmants of the explosion and the meteor contrail. The explosion site was orange/yellow and the contrail was yellow/blue. extremely bright. It was dark outside and light up the interior of my car like flash photo would. didn't notice any fragments Since it was dark outside, I don't know how close to the ground it was. But because of the light given off from the explosion, I would venture to guess it was closer than normal.

07DEC2012 Joe G Carrolton, TX USA 0700 Central Time Zone USA I would say maybe 5 seconds. From North to South. I was facing South. I saw some white and possibly some blue. I was not sure if the blue was from daybreak or from the actual meteorite. I did not hear anything as my car window was closed and music playing. I would say same as the moon. None that I could see. This thing was very wide and it appeared to be very close. It also appeared to have slowed down when it entered our atmosphere then proceeded with the free fall. 2 other friends confirmed that they saw it, too.

Fireball over Lewisville, TX - 12/7/12
At 6:40am on 12/7/12, I saw a large fireball over lewisville, TX. The fireball was clearly going straight down and went in front of my field of view for about 4 seconds. I was driving south of I-35 near Lewisville water tower and the fireball landed very close by. The fireball was incredibily bright blue and made a very loud sound as it passed back. Just before hittting the ground, the light disappeared and there was large pop. Several of my co-workers saw the same thing from road 2499 which was several miles south of my location.
