Ball Of Fire In The Sky Over Shelby Mansfield KOA Ohio

Date: September 4, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

We had a sighting on September 4th, 2010 around 11:00pm. We were camping at the Shelby-Mansfield KOA (http://www.shelbymansfieldkoa.com/) and watched the same "fireball" type object that many are reporting.

A number of us at the campground stopped whatever we were doing and watched this object, so there are a good number of folks who witnessed this. We watched the "flaming" object travel the entire horizon from a north-to-south direction. We could not determine a shape, but it appeared to be a fire in the sky, moving quickly.

We watched it for a few minutes and even walked into other campsites to confirm the sighting. Our first hypothesis was satellite burning up, since it appeared to be gaining in elevation slowly before tracking upward out of site (did not fade over the horizon) thinking about space junk burning and skipping across the top of the atmosphere.

Thank you, feel free to contact us for more information.
