| Remarks | When I looked up, it looked like there was a "crack" in the sky. I actually swore when I first saw it cause I'd never seen ANYTHING like it before and had no idea what I was looking it. It was not a straight line, looked shaky like a crack in a wall looks when the foundation of a house settles. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I was driving north on Rt. 71 from Cincinnati to Columbus and it was like someone was playing with a dimmer switch for the entire sky. The whole sky slowly got this muddy bright blue color and then faded back out to black. A lightning strike lights up the sky for a fraction of a second. This whole thing lasted 3-4 seconds. It was the ENTIRE sky as well, not just a portion. |
