During my morning run at 5:56 am Central Daylight Time, I witnessed the brightest meteor that I have ever seen. It was early dawn and still relatively dark. It passed to the north of Mahomet, Illinois (near Champaign) from the east, heading west. It lasted for a while and if I had been alert enough, I might have had enough time to get the camera out which I carry & get a picture. However, that didn't happen & it takes the thing a while to boot up anyway. There was some green during part of of the meteor's flight, so I wonder I wonder if it may have been a returning man made space object with electronics.
Did you make a wish?
Not yet.

Wait till Oct when the leonid meteor showers light off.
Green means the meteor was copper laden.
Blue is trippy, thats cobalt
Nah, it was just the Dems' chances in November.
Anyone who IMHO get up for a morning jog at 6am deserves a gift of a visual in the sky.
(I am a high energy at 9pm kinda person for the record)
Wait till November when the Obamanid meteor flames out.
Very cool.
Did you hear it crackle or make a sonic boom?
If you had your camera ready, then you never would have seen anything. It’s a standard rule of photography.
I don’t think you saw a meteor. That was just “hope & change” flaming out.
No sound where I was. Its path was probably never higher than 35 degrees, so I figure it was probably to far away to hear.
The next day Columbia actually got struck by one.
