Indiana One Of Several States Where Fireball Meteor Spotted

ACROSS INDIANA -- A fireball meteor took Hoosiers by surprise Tuesday night, as people across the Midwest reported seeing the fireball. The American Meteor Society received more that 350 reports spanning several states about the meteor, in Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Ontario, Canada and a heavy amount of reports coming from Michigan. The American Meteor Society confirmed the meteor, which the United States Geographical Survey said caused a 2.0 magnitude earthquake in the area of New Haven, Michigan due to the meteor's explosion.

A video from Twitter user Marty Medina (below) shows what you missed if you weren't able to catch the 28,000-miles-per-hour meteor.

The National Weather Service in Detroit in a tweet late Tuesday confirmed what many people in Indiana and those other Midwest states suspected: The unidentified exploding object was, in fact, a meteor. It had an epicenter of New Haven, Michigan.
