What is the fireball in the Google trends about?


Midwest Meteor: Huge Fireball Lights Up Sky
a large meteor streaked over northern Illinois and other Midwestern states Wednesday night.
Reports of meteor sightings about 10 p.m. Wednesday came in to the National Weather Service from wide areas across the Midwest, including Wisconsin and eastern Iowa, said Nathan Marsili, a meteorologist with the weather service's Chicago-area office. News outlets from Missouri to Minnesota and east to Michigan reported sightings, and some reports indicated the light could have come from space junk entering the atmosphere rather than a meteor.
