TL;DR Summary

A bright fireball meteor lit up skies across several Midwestern states on Feb. 10, streaking about 29,000 mph and traveling roughly 48 miles before appearing to disintegrate high over the horizon, with reports from Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. NASA suggests the object was likely a fragment from a larger asteroid, and while many sightings were captured on security cameras and dashcams, there were no delayed sonic booms reported.
