Reports of a fireball in the sky spread across the Midwest around 2:25 a.m. ET, including many who saw it in West Michigan.

The meteor's flight was captured and spread on the internet on dash cam video from a police officer in Lisle, Illinois. According to the American Meteor Society, this particular object likely ended its journey on Lake Michigan somewhere between Sheboygan, WI and Manitowoc, WI.
