| Name | Dani S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on I64 west, just past the ceredo/kenova exit nearing the Ohio river. This large, bright light appeared to move south to north but it was so quick. I lost sight of it due to a tree line approaching the Ohio river. One of my passengers also saw the light. It was much larger and brighter than a “shooting star”. |
