Fireball seen in Xenia Ohio July 4, 2012
My husband and I had just returned from watching a fireworks display in Kettering Ohio. I took my dog out to the back yard.
I heard and saw my neighbors behind my house looking towards the south east firing off fireworks. The rocket went off in the air, and as I looked I noticed a strange object just apparently hovering.
It moved slowly and silently from side to side. It was rather large and looked like a fireball. It was red with some mixed colors in it of red, yellow and orange. The colors seemed to be fluctuating.
I tried to call my husband out to see it, but he didn't hear me. My daughter came out with me and she saw it too as it slowly moved away from us to the south east.
It continued on until it disappeared from view. It was very controlled, moved slowly and made no sound at all. Once it began to move away and seemed to disappear rather quickly. The object was at just above the houses on the horizon. There was little or no wind at the time.
