A preliminary analysis of these reports indicates that the fireball was first sighted 47 miles above Highway 77 midway between Hallettsville and Schulenburg. It moved north of west at 29,000 miles per hour, traveling some 65 miles over the Texas countryside before disintegrating 27 miles above Buda in southern Austin.
