Observer
Name Jason S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Saw on way to work was traveling north on kicking pike in wilder Kentucky. My view was looking north towards downtown Cincinnati. Traveling very fast and low like a ball of flame. Assumed it was a meteor. Could not say the size but big enough and close enough for me to see that it was in flamed.
