| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The conditions are cloudy and snowy. So, I did not see the bolide. Rather, I was walking to the west, and behind me, I saw a diffused bright white light. Less than a second later, I heard a loud explosion. It made me recall the bolide I witnessed in 2003 over northern Illinois, when I worked at Strickler Planetarium and Observatory in Bourbonnais, Illinois. This bolide possibly was quite close as I heard the explosion less than a second after seeing the flash. The flash and the explosion came from the east. Therefore, I would say the explosion happened somewhere over Marysville, Ohio or Deleware, Ohio. |
