An apparent meteor and accompanying sonic boom Tuesday evening over
northeast Wisconsin prompted scores of telephone calls to law
enforcement authorities, a Shawano County sheriff's sergeant said.
Sgt. Dennis Kleman said reports of the meteor sighting were made in
Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Langlade and Shawano counties between 6
and 6:15 p.m.
Kleman himself spotted the meteor while patrolling in the westbound lane
of county Highway A about four miles west of Gresham, he said.
"It had a really bright tail," said Kleman, who noticed a bright flash
in his windshield coming from the northeast.
"It came over the top of my squad. It didn't appear to be coming down.
It went across," Kleman said. "It went toward the southwest and looked
like it extinguished."
There were no reports of the object landing, but it is suspected of
causing the sonic boom Kleman and others heard shortly after it flashed.
"It was well up in the sky," the deputy said. "It was just a matter of a
second, then it went out."
"It was probably that crazy dreamwalker igniting his rancid '151 proof'
farts again" said a local bum.

Yep, you are fixated on flying rocks impacting the earth.
Flying rocks and strange land deformations, sink-holes, in
Florida. Not a bad thing. News of meteors doesn't usually
hit the major news.

Yep. We usually don't even hear about them on the news if they don't
do any damage or if little green men step out of them. Those memory
erasing gizmos are hell. ;)

Just out of curiousity -- why do people call law enforcement agencies when they
spot a meteor?

I think many of them who called weren't really sure what it was. (see
new link below)
Here is a link to an article that I almost posted but it was in ALL
CAPS! It just wasn't very legible as a paste job.
