A bright light that bolted across the sky Tuesday night was caught on camera and has lots of central Texans asking what was it??

This Lakeway police cruiser dash cam recorded the site shortly after 11pm local time.

The streak caught the attention of hundreds of residents who called police and the local media to see what was going on.

Charla Changos and her husband were at their pool when they saw it.

"Just the two flashes like it was going to rain like it was lightning far away, then just a ball of fire going through the sky and we both just sat there and wet oh my gosh, oh my gosh."

An amateur astronomer said it was a meteor fireball, and not space junk re-entering the earth's atmosphere.
