Title: "Major," Green Meteor Lights Midwest Night Sky

A large meteor blazed across the midwestern U.S. sky Wednesday night.

Igniting over Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri around 10:15 p.m., local time, the fireball briefly turned night to green-tinged day and unleashed a sonic boom heard for hundreds of miles around.
