| Name | Sean A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I live in Bethel, Ohio. I spotted what I think was a meteor falling at an amazing speed outside of my house. It appeared to be flying through the sky at a low altitude, and at a speed that I have never seen an airborne object move. Very large, white fireball. May have been my imagination but I thought I heard an impact in the distance a few seconds after it disappeared from sight. |
