Meteor


This black and white photo from a rooftop webcam released Thursday by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences shows a fireball as it passed over Madison Wednesday night. National Weather Service meteorologist David Sheets in Davenport, Iowa, says a meteor soared past about 10 p.m. local and appears to have disintegrated as it reached southwest Wisconsin. The meteor, also seen in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa, apparently didn't cause any damage. (AP Photo/University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences)
