| Name | Rose S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I barely caught this in my peripheral vision. I saw light out of the corner of my eye and turned my head to the right to look ( I was traveling north on State Route 4), At first I thought I was seeing a really nice trailing meteor, but as I watched it fall straight down it burst into a fireball (but I saw no fragmentation). Fantastic! My radio was up, if there was a boom I didn't hear it. I listed Bucyrus as the address, but I was north of there a few minutes out in the country so there were no city lights to interfere. |
