7 Shooting stars in sky near Decatur
Driving west on I-72 in a rural area of the interstate near Decatur, I noticed 7 fireballs in the southwestern sky in rapid succession. Each one appeared for approximately 2 seconds followed by the next one in the same location streaking southwestward.
They appeared to be shooting stars but only covered a small area of the sky before each one disappeared. The total duration of the event was only 20-25 seconds.
