Meteor in Wisconsin and Iowa
An apparent meteor in Wisconsin and Iowa lit up the sky around 10:10 p.m. Central Time last night.
The ‘fireball in the sky’ was seen by hundreds, causing a flood of social networking activity. Said one Facebook user, Renee DeVries, “It looked like a red flare and then it changed to a yellowish color and looked as if it was falling from the sky.”
The AP reports that the meteor led to “rattling houses and causing trees and the ground to shake.”
Am I just imagining it or have there been many more meteors coming to earth than normal in the last several years? Even I saw two the same evening last September, while I was watching an outdoor music concert. The first one was huge and was proceeding across the sky horizontally, the second was the standard high up flash of light burning out. I don’t remember so many meteors or meteorites being spotted in such a short time span.
