Residents returned Sunday to the ruined hillsides of their suburban San Francisco neighborhood, three days after a natural gas pipeline exploded into a deadly fireball.

Authorities in several Midwestern states were flooded Wednesday night with reports of a gigantic fireball lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said.

The fireball that blazed across the Texas sky and sparked numerous weekend calls to law enforcement agencies now can be considered an identified flying object.

Just like some U.S. officials looking into the mystery, the man who captured video of an apparent fireball in the sky over Texas on Sunday is perplexed. "I don't know what I saw," Eddie Garcia, a videographer for News 8 Austin, said today. Early speculation was that it might have been debris from two satellites that rammed into each other. But U.S. Strategic Command said it was not.
