UFO Sighting in Joliet, Illinois on May 13, 2017

Fireballs from space are a great sight to see, i have seen a few myself. This one shot over Illinois today and reminded me rocks fall from space everyday and or space junk ect, either way we don't know what it is till it is found or we are told what it was. So it is a "Unidentified Falling Object". Being that anything from space can be worth a lot of money (Meteorites) people may go looking for it hoping it is a meteorite. Many have called them the “truest form of black gold,” and they often sell for$300.00 per gram or more - meaning a 1 pound meteorite can be worth a million dollars.
