| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rupp J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was an incredible experience and it was directly infant of my vehicle! Not much traffic at the time, so it was a dark night and in clear view! My husband, who was at home in our home office facing north, also experienced a bright flash of light out the window. I called him after my observation/experience and he then knew where the flash of light came from. Amazing! |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It was directly in front of and above my vehicle traveling east on the Ohio Toll Road. It was a very bright and sudden flash on light - similar to a close firework. I saw the flames (bright fight yellow and green near the ball's round edge. It had yellow flames trailing, but not long. I don't know if what I saw was fragmentation or a trail of the light speeding by. Sorry. |
