Meteor flys over Midwestern sky and crashes in Iowa - did you see it ?

RealUfos would like to hear from anyone who saw the meteor recently over Iowa and the midwest:

A large meteor streaked across the Midwestern sky momentarily turning night into day, rattling houses and causing trees and the ground to shake, authorities said Thursday. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Witnesses say the meteor lit up the sky Wednesday about 10:10 p.m. National Weather Service offices across the Midwest say it was visible from southwestern Wisconsin and northern Iowa to central Missouri.

People from Wisconsin and Minnesota to Iowa and Illinois reported seeing a big, bright object flying through the night sky.

Radar information suggests the meteor landed in the southwest corner of Wisconsin, either Grant or Lafayette counties, said Ashley Sears, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Milwaukee office. Officials in both counties said no one has reported seeing a meteor or crater.

Iceland - volcanoe erupts and grounds most european flights

All flights in Norway and northern Sweden, as well as all London flights, were cancelled because of the risks posed by volcanic ash from the Icelandic volcanoe, which can also damage aircraft engines. It is the first time ever in a very long time that all airtraffic was suspended in the UK. There is a lot of earthquake and volcanic activity happening worldwide recently...

"Ash has already begun to fall in Fljotshlid and people in the surrounding area have reported seeing bright lights emanating from the glacier," RUV public radio said on its website. 


It's the first time within living memory that a natural disaster has caused such an air traffic halt in the U. K. Even after 9/11, Britain did not close its air space.” - Spokeswoman, U.K. National Air Traffic Service


“The extent is greater than we've ever seen before in the EU. The volcanic ash is progressing very slowly eastwards, but there is not a lot of wind, so it is very slow and very dense.” - Brian Flynn, Deputy Head of Operations, Eurocontrol
