Observer
Name Andrew S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving on I-670-E (highway) at the time of the sighting, facing the direction of John Glenn International Airport (KCMH). The bright green/blue train became more intense culminating in a brilliant bright/green (orb) before it disappeared from view. The whole sighting lasted only a couple of seconds. A fascinating experience!
