Lake Jackson, TX

I’m in my kitchen in lake Jackson Texas. We have a flat screen on the wall that we turn on to watch wildlife and snow in the Jackson Hole Wyoming area. I had just turned the tv on and a huge fireball flew over the Grand Tetons, I took a video of the event on mr phone. The size of it was huge. It was still dark over the Tetons so you can see the event. Wanting to see if anyone else seen this.
