Reports Report 2187io (Event 2187-2014)

Observer
Name Dena C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Again it was a large ball of fire coming straight down. I thought it was a plane on fire or a bomb exploding midair coming straight down -- but then I heard nothing when it hit the ground? I was driving on the Turnpike from Chicago to Canfield, Ohio, at the time, totally bored, and had a great view! I am guessing the time -- but my husband called me at 11:08, and I had just saw it and was telling him. My mother was resting next to me and had just closed her eyes. My husband and I even joked about it being a UFO?
