at almost midnight there weren't many other cars on the road. Its hard to say how close it really was going 65 miles per hour, but it seemed truly close. between 5 and fifteen miles tops. It was brighter and bigger than I've seen in a while. Bigger than the one that hit out at the top of Fishsprings a couple years ago.
