Bright Orange Ball Over Cincinnati, Ohio

Date: July 4, 2010
Time: Between 10:30 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.

The night of July 4th sometime between 10:30 - 11:30pm east of Cincinnati Ohio, we saw a bright orange ball floating across the sky. At first I thought it was fireworks, but realized it wasn't when it looked like it was moving directly towards us. It looked like a bright orange ball with a shadow on the left side (like a crescent moon shaped shadow). It came from the northeast and moved very slowly in a straight line. It appeared to pause for a moment and then just slowly kept moving, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

I've never seen anything like that! It's probably the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. For a minute it felt like the sun or the moon was falling towards us (even though it wasn't near that big). I don't believe in aliens or anything like that, so I was hoping for an explanation.

I looked on the internet the day after expecting many sightings since there had to be people looking up at the sky that night because of fireworks. I can't believe more people didn't see it or that it wasn't on the news. How is it possible that more people aren't talking about this?

Anyway, I found your site on the internet and was hoping you had heard more about it. Thanks!
