A flaming object over Minnesota skies this afternoon may have been a meteor.
Shortly after 2 p.m., people across the Twin Cities reported seeing a "metallic" object or "flaming ball" falling from the sky.
Broadcasters and emergency dispatchers got hundreds of calls from people who saw the object traveling from the northeast to the southwest.
The FAA received no reports of anything falling from any airplanes in the area, leading to speculation that it was a meteor that burned up in the atmosphere, since no crash site has been identified.
Residents of Lyon County in far southwestern Minnesota reported a loud boom that might have been connected with the sightings in the Twin Cities.
Navy reservist Greg Devereaux, who lives near the town of Amiret, says it shook his house and sounded like a sonic boom from an F-14 breaking the sound barrier at close range.

I just hope his big brother didn’t come with him.
Darn, I missed it!
No mention of it on the 5 or 6 news.
One guy called in on KSTP, said he lived in SW Minn. Something went bang not too far from his position and he was reporting that there was a major fire in a farm field with lots of firefighters headed that way.
Area 52??

Believe what you will, but I'm pretty sure it was this guy.
Flaming? Are they sure it's not just Al Franken's boyfriend taking off?
Wow, you’d think someone would have pics of that fire...or would at least write about it in the local town paper.
I’m sure all of the locals met with MIB’s with flashy-things.
This is HUGH.
It was Al Franken’s career.
