| Name | Kim G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Yes, my daughter was in the car on Superior and I was driving on Orphanage Rd. She called me and said she thought it dropped on our street! I saw it to my right side, close like plane coming into CVG. It WAS NOT A PLANE! Magnificent fluorescent blue, round. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen! When there are meteorite showers, we try to find a dark place and watch them. Usually it's a streak of white light that's far away but this was awe inspiring. Right above us. Sky pretty clear tonight. Like the one in Michigan the night before but blue. We are watching social media and news to see if anyone else got to see it! I know I didn't imagine it as my daughter was calling me from Superior as I was starting to dial her on Orphanage Rd. It was magical. I would say it was traveling from East to West over Ft Mitchell. |
