(CNN) -- Authorities in several Midwestern states were flooded Wednesday night with reports of a gigantic fireball lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said.
The fireball was visible for about 15 minutes beginning about 10 p.m., said the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee.
"The fireball was seen over the northern sky, moving from west to east," said the NWS in the Quad Cities area, which includes parts of Iowa and Illinois.
Very cool. It's not often this happens over a city or even better, gets filmed.
A meteorite flew over Edmonton a few years ago, luckily it was winter. Most of the fragments were found in Saskatchewan, lying in the snow 275KM/170M away. http://www.astronomy.com/asy/default.aspx?c=a&id=7698
