I saw it in from south Ames looking north it was heading SE to NW. Thought it was a low flying plane at first. Had time to get to the window to see it break up. Very cool.
Anyone else see the meteor around 5:40? It was moving east to west and was north of Iowa City.

Are you sure it wasn't the international space station? It is visible from the naked eye from time to time.

Whotv.com claims to have an image from Runnells but unless they somehow flipped the image the angle is all wrong I think. Also have a webcam image from Iowa City but someone pointed out that it's Venus they captured.
Well here is a picture of the ISS from ground
