Is the fireball in the sky in Texas falling space debris?

A meteor has a distinct fiery tail trailing behind it (see the Swedish video), whereas the Texas object was roundish and fairly compact. Further on, meteors leave an impact crater when they hit the ground. News footage of what could be the Texas impact site shows only surface burn, a grass fire, but no crater.
What puzzles me is the stationary object in the upper right-hand corner, and another, black one, just above it - first I thought it was a streetlamp, but upon watching several more videos of it, some in HD, I came to the conclusion that it's definitively not a streetlamp... Don't know what it is, but it's most curious.

That's the issue, though. They don't coincide exactly, and that's what the experts have said. Debris was not falling like that at the time people saw the meteorite in Texas. Just because it happened around the same day doesn't mean it coincided. 24 hours is a huge window of time.
It is possible to view meteorites during the day. It's a somewhat rare occurrence, but it's not unheard of. I know people who have seen meteorites during the day, and it is documented in literature about astronomy.
Unless you can back your opinion up with timelines and due diligence then I have to go with what the experts have said.
