It went right over my place. 
Here is a video of it....no, I didn't take the video.
Go to 28 seconds into the video.
This sucker lit up the sky
It happened last night a little after 10 pm
Here is what our local News paper has to say
The National Weather Service in Davenport is reporting that a meteor was seen passing over the Quad-Cities just after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
NWS meteorologist Mike McClure said the meteor was seen as far north as Milwaukee, Wis., and as far south as St. Joseph, Mo. He noted the meteor appeared to be traveling east.
He added that loud noises, possibly sonic booms, were reported between Dubuque, Iowa, and and LaCrosse, Wis.
"It appeared to be a fireball,"Mr. McClure said. "We're just trying to figure out the extent of it."
Jennifer Johnston, a science and astronomy teacher at Bettendorf High School, said she saw the meteor through a north-facing glass door of her Davenport home.
"The light was very orange," Ms. Johnston said. "It was changing in intensity. It turned the sky orange behind my neighbor's house."
Ms. Johnston said she did not hear any noises as the meteor passed overhead.
As of 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, Mr. McClure said the NWS had not received any reports of debris hitting the ground. But he added that reports were still coming in at the time.
