28JAN2014 Dan Phlegar Upper Arlington, oh 20:05:00 15 SW Deep red, orange Fireball like the sun, but red Tail was long and very wide It looked like a helicopter or plane had been shot down, exploded without losing its glow as it shot across the sky. Heading down fast enough that I thought it was going to hit just Southwest of Columbus. Must have been even bigger if it was actually heading toward KY.
