Fireballs

You will sometimes see a meteor burn up in the atmosphere over Illinois and Iowa, but you'll rarely see them during the daytime which is exactly what happened early Friday morning.

This was one of the most widely-viewed fireballs of the year so far. Hundreds saw a meteor explode over Illinois and many captured videos of the event that briefly turned night into day over the Land of Lincoln.

Some that went outside late Friday night in Illinois to observe the passing of the International Space Station got a big surprise as a meteor exploded in the sky near the ISS.

I saw the buzz about this all over social media Saturday, May 4 after what many thousands described as 'a green fireball' explode over Illinois. Many captured video of the space rock as it disintegrated over the Land of Lincoln.

You don't see a sky sight like this every day. A backyard camera in Missouri captured video of a humongous meteor as it was exploding in the skies over Iowa.

If you were staring at the gorgeous full moon over Missouri Sunday night, you might have caught a glimpse of a spectacular fireball which was captured on video exploding over the state.

If you happen to have been looking at the sky over Missouri in the northern part of the state Tuesday night, you might have caught glimpse of a brilliant sky sight as a huge meteor exploded as shown by a camera in Missouri.

One of the most brilliant fireballs of 2023 so far was spotted over Illinois and many other states early Thursday morning and the event was captured by security camera video.

Skies over Missouri are rarely boring. In the spring, it's rowdy thunderstorms. In mid-November, there's something special happening involving the remnants of an ancient comet which will be visible if you look close enough.

It's been an active year in our skies when it comes to meteors, fireballs and such. That includes an event Wednesday evening when videos captured a fireball reportedly seen by hundreds over Missouri and Illinois.
