At 7:55pm CST, I witnessed a giant green fireball heading south through the sky. I viewed this from Barrington, Illinois, approx 30 miles NW of Chicago. Have not seen or heard any news yet. Noticed mention of near-miss objects by NASA/JPL report on the web. Not sure if this was a meteoroid or a near-miss asteroid. Any info?

Between 7:45 and 8:00 pm on January 19th, I saw a mostly white ball of light with long tail streak across the southern sky. There was a tinge of red around the ball. I almost thought it was a roman candle or fireworks (except for the angle) because it seemed so close. I live in South Louisiana. It lasted a good 3 or 4 seconds and just disappeared before it reached the horizon.
