Huge meteor streaks across Midwest sky

A police dashcam captured jaw-dropping footage of what appears to be a meteor streaking across the sky in Illinois.

The National Weather Service Chicago tweeted a video of the meteor provided by the Lisle Police Department on Monday morning.

“Check out this INCREDIBLE video of the #meteor this morning as viewed from a Lisle, IL police car dash cam,” The Weather service said in a tweet.

The weather service tweeted early Monday asking for people to send videos and photos of the meteor, which was reportedly spotted from Iowa across Wisconsin, Illinois and into Indiana.

Twitter user @NateGelber tweeted that it was visible in Chicago.

“I saw it in Chicago,” @NateGelber tweeted. “Blue streak across the sky going northeast and then a bright green flash. 1:25 am.”

The National Weather Service Milwaukee also shared video taken in Plover, Wis.
