My wife and I live 5 hours east of El Paso (Midland Tx.) and would agree with most of your descriptions of what we heard last evening. It was spooky.
I’m outside Ruidoso.
There was something major up if we both heard it. I’m the other direction.
I run a drilling company and a huge huge multiwell frack could make that noise for that long (and have a flare to light up the sky) but there is zero oil and gas between Rui and El Paso.
So this was coming from your west? I’ll go look at mountain and triangulate better so we get a better line.
Know anyone to ask in Odessa or Andrews?
ChatGPT just told me it was a series of meteors
