Recently, something appeared in the sky in the Amarillo area.  It wasn't anything hovering, it wasn't a plane, but it was something falling out of the sky.

*Cue Chicken Little*

Someone on I-40 caught something falling out of the Amarillo sky.  It is hard to tell what is falling, but it's strange all the same.

Could this have been a plane descending?  The object looks to be falling straight down.  Could it have been a meteor?  It's possible because meteors do fall to the Earth all the time.  Could it have been space junk?  Was it a satellite dropping out of the sky? Maybe, but I'm sure it would have been all over the local news, and we haven't heard anything.

So what is this weird object falling out of the sky?

After checking the American Meteorite Society events page, no meteorite was spotted in the Texas Panhandle on or near this date.

This isn't the first time we've seen weird things floating in the skies of Amarillo.

Hmm...Maybe the object was a Transformer coming from Cybertron?  Let's hope it's an Autobot and not a Decepticon.  Maybe, it was just a reflection of the condensation trail of an airplane?

We've heard tales of UFOs occupying the Amarillo Sky
