Details:
Hundreds of people saw this meteor over the Midwest while they were scanning the Northern Skies waiting for Auroras.
I just happened to be taking a 20-second test shot (24mm lens set at f/1.8 ISO 1250 Nikon D750 Camera) and the meteor streaked right through the frame perfectly centered but fairly low on my Northeastern Horizon. Earth so this meteor more than likely came in somewhere above Eastern Iowa, Northern Illinois, or Wisconsin. We'll find out soon. The colors of this meteor were incredible going from white to purple to green. My amateur backyard roll-off-roof observatory can be seen in the foreground of the shot.
