Name | Brian P |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | I do not have a video or picture so I know it may be difficult but this morning about 5:30am, I was driving on broad st in Pataskala, Ohio, and saw a bright, round, ball like, bright white light, moving extremely fast and kind of low, going east to west, it was too fast for a plane or helicopter, plus didn't look like any I have seen because I see them all the time, and then it just vanished. I was wondering if you have any idea what it was or any of your astronomy equipment that may narrow it down around that time. I have never seen anything like it before in my 42 years of living. |
