| Name | Michael M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Quick glow that was almost over as soon as I seen it. I was driving I-70 West from Cambridge, OH (Work) back to Zanesville, Ohio (Home) when I was talking to my brother all of a sudden anywhere from 11:50pm to 12:00am I saw a big bright green fireball come down which seemed very close and it had a glowing trail from how bright it appeared. Lasted few seconds and it was gone I had told my brother that was one of the closest shooting stars I’ve witnessed. |
