I'm in Clear Lake Tx so not sure it was the same thing. It was between 8:45 and 9 pm. It was very bright and green. It this the time it was seen?

Eva & Stan O.-Spring, TX:
We witnessed a green fireball last night (July22, 2011) at about 8:46 pm CDT.
We were travelling on I45 northbound through Spring, Texas. The fireball ran parallel to us so was moving south to north. Its trajectory was to our left (west). It was very large an intense and disappeared at about 20 degrees above the northern horizon and at about 345 degrees on a compass. It seemed green to me initially but then I was looking at it through my windshield which is tinted across the top. Whether it was actually green I can’t be sure because it disappeared very soon after. The duration of what we saw was probably close to 1 second which for such an event seemed like a long time.
I was driving so didn’t see it until it came into view through the windshield so I can’t say how far behind me that it became visible to anyone else.
thank you Eva and Stan!
Shanta L.-Katy, TX:
I saw a orange light fall from sky over Katy Texas around 9:00 pm yesterday July 22, 2011. It can straight down from the sky then just disappeared.
thanks Shanta!
Tanner O.-Houston, TX:
I'm so glad I found this website, because I was so confused as to what I saw.
I was driving on the highway, coming back from class, when I saw what I can only describe as a fireball, shooting across the sky. It was going straight, and it was going incredibly fast, and it was only visible for two to three seconds and then it disappeared. It didn't disappear into the horizon or anything, it just simply vanished. It was a combination of green, and yellow shades. I was on interstate 610 going north, and the fireball was shooting north as well.
The date was July 22nd, 2011, and I apologize my time will not be specific but it was anywhere from 8:45 to 9:10. I never thought about it but it was actually quite large. I believe it was about the size of a full moon, if not larger, and considerably brighter than a full moon. I could not hear anything due to the radio being on, but it was moving so fast that there was a streak behind it of the same green and yellow colors. I hope this helps at least a little.
I have included an attachment of where I was driving(obvious red line) when I saw this, and where the object was moving(yellow). Thanks for taking time to do a visual aide Tanner!

Teresa-Unknown Location:
I was facing southeast and saw this. It fell straight down. From where I was it was really bright white with a bluish tint. I'm not really sure of the time, the sun hadn't quite set all the way, shortly before 9pm. It was a pretty good size. I'm surprised I can't find more information in it.
