| Name | Anthony F |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | No bright flash, at least enough to overtake daylight. Heard the sound first, and was in camera at the time so i could see my exact reaction time to the sound. I heard an echo of it off a nearby building and thought it came from the west initially. Once estimates of the location came out i did some speed of sound calculations and figured it was within about roughly 3 minutes and began searching or security cameras. Caught it on the one of the eastern pointing cameras. Unfortunately it's a secured facility and sharing the footage is not allowed (though I'm working on it). Most critical is that i captured the exact moment I reacted to the sound and was able to get 4:44s. Camera time is synced up to Internet time. Seen at 8:56:41 and heard at 9:01:25 am. My amateur estimation is somewhere around akron slightly south south west. If I'm within 10 miles do i get a prize? :P |
