Did you hear a series of loud booming noises last night? It may not have been a bass-thumping car in the street -- a meteor exploded over northern Chicago around 1am, scaring some with a bright flash and booms. No reports so far of recovered meteorite bits like last year's event in Park Forest; stay tuned... (Thanks, Joe!)
