Some people were treated to an astral spectacle late Wednesday night, as a "fireball meteor" flashed across the night sky in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
WCCO viewer Diane Lloyd captured footage of the meteor over Sartell, Minnesota, at about 10:15 p.m.
About 150 miles northeast of Sartell, The Duluth Harbor Cam on Lake Superior also caught what may be the same meteor over the Aerial Lift Bridge.
The Neenah Fire Department in western Wisconsin also posted to social media about the awe-inspiring sight.
"Last night at 10:13 p.m., as Officer Brent Wittman was leaving the ThedaCare Neenah Emergency Department, a meteor was seen lighting up the evening sky," police said.
According to the
American Meteor Society, there were nearly three dozen fireball reports in Minnesota on Wednesday between 10 p.m. and midnight, and more than 70 reports across Wisconsin.
