Mysterious Bright, Greenish Object Streaks Across the Sky
People across parts of the country turned their gaze skyward Monday, with two objects spotted in the night sky.
The first object was reported after 6 p.m. across 11 states, from Georgia to Pennsylvania. The object appears to have been a meteor, Bill Cooke of the NASA Meteoroid Environment Office said.
Benwood Police Sgt. Luke Thomas in West Virginia captured dash-cam video showing a bright, greenish object coming from the sky.
A second object was spotted about an hour later over Chicago.
“The Chicago event appears to be a slow mover; could be a piece of space junk,” NASA’s Cooke said. “We’re checking into that as well.”

Three brilliant fireballs - two from space and one apparently made by humans - lit up skies over the U.S. on Monday, prompting hundreds of reports by surprised skywatchers.
The first fireball - the general name given to objects that shine brighter than the planet Venus as they streak through the sky - appeared over Arkansas at 9:30 a.m. CST; the second was spotted over Chicago at about 6:30 p.m. CST; the third appeared over West Virginia at about 6:22 p.m. EST. The objects over Arkansas and West Virginia appear to be meteors, but the object over Chicago now seems to be man-made.
Spectator Steve Sobel captured the last few seconds of what initially appeared to be a meteor moving through the eastern sky of Chicago. Another video posted on Tuesday, however, revealed that the event was a marketing stunt by Red Bull.

Maybe a meteor? Well, Jon Devore, Mike Swanson and Sean MacCormac from the Red Bull Air Force took an epic wingsuit flight in the darkness of night, blasting flares as they fell down from the sky before they landed safely on the Lake Michigan Shoreline to kick off Red Bull Art of Can.
