The American Meteor Society has so far received 21 reports of a substantial fireball over the mid-western region of the USA. It 
occurred near 7:55pm CDT on April 9th or 0:55 Universal Time on April 10. Most of the reports were from Missouri but outlying 
reports were also received from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Most witnesses rate the maximum light output equal to that 
of the full moon.  A blue-green color was mentioned  in many reports as well as fragmenting with both concurrent and delayed sounds.

Summaries of these reports may be viewed on the AMS website at: http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2010.htm
