Meteor in Wisconsin, The appearance of a meteor over the city of Madison, Wisconsin. The chance of a meteor this visible falling over a populated area is extremely low, and though Madison may not be Los Angeles or Tokyo.
A large amount of sightings also makes it easier to track the trajectory of a meteorite after it has hit the ground.
Reports from the National Weather Service say a meteor lit up the sky, and it was seen soaring across five states.Stateliners in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois were in the viewing area of the stellar light show.
