I was awake at the time but wasn't outside. From up here in the Twin Cities, I don't recall a sonic boom - or a sound similiar to it. OTOH, I live not too far from the aiport so maybe I mistook the boom for a jet. Who knows?
There is a brief vide clip on this link. Please do not watch the entire clip - unless you're deeply interested in what Twin Cities weather will be like today.
Are there any Freepers out there who saw this? Comments or opinions - anyone?

WHY do people call 911 when they see a ‘bright streak’? WHAT is their emergency?
Call the radio station perhaps; but emergency services?

WHY do people call 911 when they see a bright streak? WHAT is their emergency? Looking at the video from Milwaukee, they may have thought it was an aircraft crashing

Because it’s been proven that 50% of the people in this country are idiots.

I wonder that, too. What do they think the Cops are gonna do - jump in their squad cars and give chase?

Have you seen this video? It was much more than a “bright streak”. Looked like a gigantic ball of fire.

To provide data on the extent of the view area?
A lot can be derived from the pattern of reporting, it might help emergency services arrive at a crash site earlier, by getting them headed in the general direction before the location is pinpointed.
Personal example, I knew with a fair degree of accuracy the epicenter of the Northridge quake before it was even reported.
An in-law called and let us know there had been a major quake, 10 seconds. I called several relatives in the area, maybe 10-15 seconds each, found that the phone system was down in a donut hole surrounding relatives that live a mile from the epicenter.
Just as the ‘quake was being reported, I already knew where emergency responders needed to focus. I’m sure they did too, but...
In a few minute we knew who was OK and who to worry about.
(Side note, their kid slept through the quake. In the top bunk. Go figure!)

I saw something that looked like a crashing plane when I was a kid. It was at dusk, and there was a fireball just like in the video. We ran and told our folks. Found out later that it was a meteor just like this, and it was 2 states away from us!

-here near Platteville, Wisconsin, it rattled the windows and indeed the sound lasted for at least thirty seconds—10:08 pm when I looked at my watch-—

The next time I see a flaming ball of fire streak across the night sky, I’m gonna call the Police ASAP.
Maybe there will still be time to get those people out of that flaming airplane.

Yeah. No one on the ground has ever been injured by a plane crash.
No plane crash has ever started a fire, either.

I agree and they’ve found enough to buy some excellent equipment. Reminds me of the impact site I found when bird hunting but have not been able to find since.
