Share this @internewscast.com

In the wake of a mysterious explosion that reverberated across Houston, a local woman reported that a meteorite may have crashed through her home, creating a sizable hole in her roof and leaving behind a rock the size of a football.

Residents swarmed social media with concerns on Saturday afternoon, describing a sound reminiscent of a massive explosion in the Houston vicinity.

The Brenham Fire Department responded to calls regarding a potential explosion near Highway 50. However, upon arrival, they found no evidence of such an incident.

Witnesses reported having seen a “green flash descending from the sky” followed by black smoke and a loud “boom,” according to the department.

A large hole was seen in Sherrie James' ceiling.

Fire officials also indicated that some sources speculated the noise might have been produced by a “possible meteor.”

Sherrie James, who contacted affiliate FOX 26 and the Ponderosa Fire Department after the blast, said an “unusual rock” crashed through her roof, leaving a large hole in the ceiling and in her flooring.

Photos provided by James showed a football-sized black rock that appeared to be broken off a larger chunk of material.

Since there was no construction or trees nearby, the fire department told FOX 26 the rock was likely a part of the alleged meteor that was heard around Houston.

The American Meteor Society documented what it is calling a “fireball event” over Texas on Saturday, after receiving more than 100 reports.

Observers reported the event lasted anywhere between 1.5 seconds and 7.5 seconds, though it has not yet been validated by experts.

Debris was seen near the area the large rock landed.
