NASA maps possible meteorite drop zone after daytime Texas fireball

TL;DR Summary
A rare daytime meteor exploded over the Houston area on March 21, with NASA's ARES releasing a provisional strewn-field map showing where meteorite fragments may have fallen, including heavier shards (about 1 kg) likely in red zones between Willowbrook and Northgate Crossing; the event produced a bright flash detectable by GOES satellites and ground-level pressure waves. The map is tentative and warns against trespassing as residents search private property; the piece also notes a separate daytime fireball in Ohio on March 17.
