DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The calls came in from Rockwall, McKinney, Cedar Hill and Irving as many North Texas residents were stunned by an early morning flash that light up the pre-dawn sky.
It was a mystery in the sky as several people witnessed a big 'blueish-green' flash in the sky at around 6:30 Monday morning. Many residents said it looked like it was in Eastern Dallas County.
According to Oncor, the bright light was from a transformer malfunction at a substation in Mesquite.
