A large meteor landed in Michigan on the evening of January 17, 2018. It lit up the sky for a few moments and impacted in farmland and lakes east of Howell. I noticed the flash but didn’t see it well, however a webcam in the attic caught it nicely. Notice the flash doesn’t disturb Wally:

About one hundred seconds later, the sonic boom reaches Ann Arbor (and Wally):

Some fragments were recovered from a snow-covered lake.
