I was out the other night and for the first time in my life I saw the most incredible meteor that was a huge fireball.
Normally I just see the typical streaks of light, but this one scared the crap out of me as I thought a jet had exploded above me! It was much slower than typical meteor streaks and it looked like a huge fireball flying across the sky, complete with flames!
It died out while still in the air so I doubt anything landed and there were no reports of anything hitting anywhere in upper Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
A few years back alot of people in northern and northcentral Wisconsin saw a similar streak, but they also found a meteorite in the U.P. associated with it.
This was an awesome experience. Aside from TV, I had never seen such a huge fireball and to see one in person was just amazing!
