| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It shot across the sky with what appeared to be a trail on each side of itself. The object itself was the brightest followed by each of these two trails. Each trail’s center had the thickness of one of the brightest star’s in the night sky and the distance between each trail was about the end of your pinkie when placed at arm’s length. Out from each of these two trails was like a cloudy brightness that was dimmer the further away from each it went, extending away on both directions about as far as they were from each other. Living so close to Cincinnati, I typically have to stargaze at least an hour south of me to watch a shower, this would have been extraordinary under better light conditions. |
