MUSCODA, WI (WTAQ) – Thousands of people have seen video of an apparent meteor flying over a small town in southwest Wisconsin.
The Muscoda Police Department’s Facebook page has a six-second video of what looks like a huge white ball falling from the sky, and disappearing just before it could land.
A rooftop camera at UW-Madison also caught the apparent meteor on Monday night, as a moving burst of light.
WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee has a comment on its website from an unnamed Madison professor saying the fireballs are common — but seeing them so vividly is not very common.
Almost 65,000 people had seen the two videos online as of Wednesday morning.
