The preliminary estimated trajectory plotted from the witness reports shows the meteor was traveling from the South East to the North West and ended its (visible) flight few miles East of Marionville, MO.
This event has been caught on tape by Tim Zikowsky while setting up this dash cam on his way to work (at 0:10):
Standing on deck in southwest Michigan, we witnessed what looks like a “fireball” that filled the sky with light. It broke into pieces at the end and was bright white with orange, purple, and green shades.
At least three seconds long….
Hope someone had a camera going!!!
