I was 14 when this meteor hit the woman. I remember hearing that it could be seen in Houston, that it lit up the eastern sky. I missed it if it did.

My husband found a round rock that he has always thought was a meteorite, how can you tell?

They’re 5X heavier than a regular rock, and black.

Is there any unusual perturbation of the Oort cloud going on right now?

Check the rock types in the vicinity. If the sample doesn’t match any of them, have a qualified geologist take a look. Though be careful of State appropriation schemes.
