Illinois Green Meteor 11:30 pm Central 12MAY2011
Kewanee, IL  Meteor 11:30 pm 12MAY2011
Last night May 12, 2011 at around 11:30 PM, my daughter and I were headed home from Wal-Mart going North on Main Street in Kewanee, IL and to the west we saw a very large bright light with a red fiery tail. It was very colorful and only lasted for a few seconds. It was the most beautiful “falling star/meteor” we ever saw. I have never seen anything like it before.

Villa Park, Illinois. Two Meteors!precisely 11:30 PM May 12th, 2011
Last night, on May 12th, 2011, at precisely 11:30 PM, I spotted a meteor while standing outside in Villa Park, Illinois. It seemed like it was heading north east. For a few seconds it held a bright, colorful tail. The tail immediately dissipated, and it appeared that the meteor cooled down very quickly until it was no longer visible.
Roughly 30 minutes later, I spotted another meteor. This one seemed to be heading directly north and was not nearly as vibrant as the previous. It left a white colored trail for a few short seconds before being lost in the night sky.
I hope this information helps you in some way! Thanks, Chris Kolar

East Troy, Wisconsin Meteor ~11:30pm 12MAY2011
Thats awesome I am in east troy wisconsin and around 11:30 pm last night I spotted the brightest shooting star I have ever seen in my 27 years, I think It was heading North. I was in my bed and happened to catch it out my window. This is the first time on your site and I think it's so cool other people in a different state could have possibly seen what I saw at the exact same time. God bless. -shimer

McHenry, IL. huge green ball with a spiral tail ~11:30 pm
It was between 11:30 PM and midnight on 5/12/2011. I was driving southeast in McHenry IL. Something caucht my eye in the sky above me. At first I thought the light came from a plane heading toward Ohare Airport. Then the orange light grew a thin tail. All of a sudden the "comet" exploded into a huge green ball with a spiral tail. This happened within a few seconds and was the most amazing thing in the sky I have EVER seen!!! - Anon.
