Massive Fireball Reported Across Midwestern Sky

Anybody see this?

Massive fireball reported across Midwestern sky

The report says it lasted "15 minutes", which I have to assume is a typo and should read "15 seconds"?

Yes 15 minutes it's too much.
Does anybody know something else about it? I tried to find more information but I found nothing at all.

I liked the way it lit up the night sky on the video taken from the Sheriff's car.

I'm guessing UFO/ET craft, and more gov't coverup to come. I'm sure "they" already sanitized the landing zone and removed the debris and/or alien remains to Area 51.

Hopefully we'll recover some more advanced technology out of the debris.

In other news, the meteor was taxed heavily, to help pay for health care and to help pay for Obama-friend-care (a new initiatiave to give campaign donators their own car dealerships -- oops that already happened).

Said the detested little govt. employee spinster that decides who will live and who will die, "That meteor caused a lot of neck strain with people looking up. It's ruining my budget and should be promptly killed."

Congress is looking to add a Value Added Tax to the meteor, citing the fact that it brought some excitement into the lives of thousands. Said congressman Spend S'more, "If it moves, we want to tax it. That is, unless it has a lobbyist. I didn't get a donation from anyone, so I say we tax it."

Area prostitutes were complaining that the congressmen get paid to do roughly the same thing as them, only paid in a variety of currencies, yet no-one is arresting them. Some were happy that at least they got to work with a little more light for 15 minutes.

More news as it develops...
