911 switchboards lit up recently in several Midwest states with reports of a gigantic UFO, or fireball streaking across and lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said. The National Weather Service also got hundreds of calls about the object, as well as reports of sonic booms.
The object was in sight for nearly 15 minutes at around 10 PM. about 10 p.m., "The fireball was seen over the northern sky, moving from west to east," said the weather service in the Quad Cities area, which encompasses parts of Iowa and Illinois. A CNN video of the UFO/fireball has been made available:
According to NASA, a meteor appears when a meteoroid -- a particle, a stone, or even a piece of Russian or American space junk enters our atmosphere from outer space [ed's note: outer space is generally considered to begin about 60 miles from earth, or roughly an hour's drive...if your car could go straight up].
"Air friction heats the meteoroid so that it glows and creates a shining trail of gases and melted meteoroid particles," it said. "People sometimes call the brightest meteors fireballs."
The fireball/UFO was seen across parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana Wisconsin, and possibly Ohio as well.
A video from WISN TV shows a huge ball of light streaking across the sky. Doppler Radar shows a smoke trail from the fireball at just after 10 p.m. It was unknown if any part of a meteorite [UFO/failed satellite/cosmic hiccup/whatever it was] hit the ground.
