Meteor in Wisconsin and Meteor Iowa (Photo and Video)
A giant green fireball assumed being a meteor freaked out residents in Wisconsin and Iowa Wednesday night. The fireball lit up the night sky like it absolutely was daylight and reportedly triggered several sonic booms over the state.
The object blazed across the skies at close to 10 p.m. CDT, spurring a frenzy of calls to local media. The National Weather Support reports it had been possibly a meteorite that shook houses under its path. Meteor showers were expected above the region above the past few days.
Not only was the meteor in Wisconsin a shocking sight inside the sky, it also most likely scared a quantity of those who didn’t even see it just from the noise alone. “Several reports of a prolonged sonic boom were received from areas north of Highway 20, along with shaking of homes, trees and various other objects including wind chimes,” The National Weather Assistance mentioned inside a statement.
It is unknown whether or not any portion from the meteorite really hit the ground – if it was a meteorite, obviously. You know there are lots of folks out there who are going to be heading all conspiracy theory over this thing!

Meteor NBC: Meteor TV Movie
Meteor on NBC is a two-part TV movie about a potential massive meteor strike that will be aired tonight, and again next Sunday, July 19. Read more about NBC’s Meteor and see photos and video here.
In NBC’s Meteor, Maria Sokoloff (seen above) plays scientist Imogene O’Neil, who will pick up where her boss (Christopher Lloyd) left off in trying determine the GPS coordinates that could prevent the strike.
Sokoloff and Lloyd’s characters are in a mad rush to bring the information about the meteor to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to reveal it to the scientists in charge of managing the potential disaster.
In the first part of the movie they run into quite a bit of technical trouble on the way, which really helps build the suspense. We’re sure NBC will keep the suspense high and tease the second part of Meteor all through next week, too.
Anyway, as the pieces of a Meteor named Kassandra are beginning to rain down onto the Earth, airplanes are knocked out of the sky, and hospitals are rendered inoperable. Scientists even begin to call it “an extinction event.”
Christopher Lloyd plays a somewhat kooky mad-scientist type who was fired from his government job because they thought he was looney. Now they have to convince them that his character, Dr. Lehman, is not crazy, and in fact knows how to save humanity.
We’ll have to wait until next week to see whether he can pull it off.
Check out some photos of the cast and video of NBC’s Meteor TV movie below.
