Observer
Name Laura V
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was huge and gorgeous! At 6:45am in NE Ohio, the sky was still dark. While driving, all of a sudden, right in front of where I was driving in the windshield, I saw a huge flash and it flew across the sky from the mid right to the low/middle left! It lasted about 3 seconds. It was so huge and so bright! Miraculous!
