Meteor over Lake Michigan lights up sky in several states

GREEN BAY, Wis.-- A meteor over Lake Michigan lit up the sky Monday morning across several states in the Midwest.

Dashcam video from police cruisers in Wisconsin and Illinois captured the fireball streaking through the dark sky about 1:30 a.m.

In addition to Illinois and Wisconsin, the American Meteor Society lists sightings in Indiana, Michigan and other states as well.

Meteorologist Jeff Last of the National Weather Service's office in Green Bay, Wisconsin, said the meteor was accompanied by a sonic boom that shook houses in the region.

Last said radar shows the meteor passing over Lake Michigan, but he said it's not clear whether it landed in the water or whether it broke up in the sky.
