HOUSTON -

The bright light spotted in the sky from South Texas to Kansas was likely a meteor, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The bright object was called in by hundreds, and even captured on police dashboard camera in Little River in central Texas Wednesday around 8 p.m.

Lynn Lundsford of the FAA said the light was too high to be an airplane, and because of its trajectory, the most likely candidate was a meteor or meteorite.
