Over the American States of Wisconsin and Illinois in the second half of the night 6 Feb 2017 fireball flew.

A bright object which was recorded by the surveillance camera installed on the roof of the faculty of atmosphere, ocean and space Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, raced across the sky at great speed and flashed in the air before they reach the ground.

The American meteor society has received about 40 phone calls from people in the States of Wisconsin and Illinois about the big outbreak of "fireball". Many witnesses claimed the object was similar to a burning aircraft or an exploding meteor, while air traffic controllers from the County Manitowoc reported a flash of lightning.

However, the known UFO researcher Scott C. Waring believes that a fireball flying over Madison, it could be extraterrestrial craft that was trying to masquerade as a meteorite.

"Most likely a UFO headed straight for lake Michigan, which is the perfect haven for underwater alien base," said Scott.
