Follow-up to article in Chicago Sun Times 12/3/97 re "Fireball" in Will Co, Illinois, 12/30. Saw similar in Lake Geneva, WI 11

This is in to response of another sighting in the Lake Geneva Area on 11/28/1997 My daughter and I had just returned home. "We lived in Lake Geneva Wisconsin at the time" and had both gotten out of the car and looked up and directly over top of us can only be describes as a HUGE meteorite. It was massive and so close you could see tons of craters in it and fire all around it. I don't recall any sound but we have been at a loss to why no-one except a couple other people have ever reported it. The fact that it didn't crash within a few miles, I'm at a loss. We will never forget that sight. So we can dispel any thought of it being a UFO. From what we both saw with our own eyes it was a massive meteorite. Like the other witness said it looked like a full moon but black and on fire.
