MILWAUKEE -- It was a sight for stargazers Friday night, May 11, if you were lucky enough to catch it.

Videos swirling on Twitter captured a meteor that flew over parts of the Midwest.

Twitter user Blue City Jeff (@BlueCityJeff) captured his video in Elgin, Illinois.



MeteorORDGeek (@ORDGeek) caught the meteor on his Nest camera in the Chicago area.



MeteorWisconsin (@_King_Kazma_) recorded it on a doorbell camera as well in the Holler Park neighborhood in Milwaukee.



The clips are short but the meteor is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Pretty cool!
