Observer
Name Samantha D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was going at a slight angle to the left directly towards the ground. It was bright yellow (somewhat duller than the sun but still bright) and moved very quickly like a meteor shower I saw in winter of I think 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It didn’t have a very long tail. I wasn’t paying attention to the sky at the time so I only saw it when it was about 20-30 feet above the trees. It lasted maybe 2-3 seconds going straight to the ground behind the pool at my condominium complex in Cincinnati. It was so quick! I know the exact location if someone is interested!
