It was one of the brightest sky objects seen so far in 2024. One eyewitness described it as "humongous". It was a gigantic green fireball that disintegrated over Missouri and video captured the moment in happened.
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.
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.
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 not uncommon to see meteors in Missouri obviously. However, there are new reports from multiple witnesses who say they saw something that appeared like a shooting star, but didn't behave like one in the skies over Missouri.
