A mysterious object crashed into Texas this week, shaking neighborhoods near McAllen in the southern part of the state near its border with Mexico. Officials believe the object was a meteorite, but don't yet know where it landed.

The Alton Police Department, about 11 miles from McAllen, said they received several calls from residents who heard what sounded like an explosion after 5 p.m. on Wednesday. The department said they heard other neighboring towns received similar reports.

Photos and videos taken in the area showing what appeared to be a meteor streak through the sky have been shared on Twitter. Other home security videos show the earth shake and a loud boom occur when the meteor apparently landed.

National Weather Service Brownsville said the tool they used to measure lighting, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper, detected a signal at 5:23 p.m. – with no storms in the area. The images captured by the mapper appear to be a possible meteorite, the agency said, adding that the images could show the meteorite's entry into the atmosphere.
