| Name | Lauren S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Driving East on interstate 275 between Loveland and WardsCorner exits (OH) I observed what I believe was a fireball. A bright, short string of light shooting downward from the sky, with a much brighter burst of light (larger than the string) at the end. Once the burst dissipated a few sprinkles/small dots of light appeared. The whole thing only lasted approximately 3-4 seconds. |
