Duration: 2-5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Akron, OH, USA

Shape: Fireball


Fire ball, then triangle of 3, then several covering sky and spreading as they headed W or WNW.

Heading north bound on RT8 between the interchange and Perkins exit, I noticed what I first thought to be a news chopper or LifeFlight landing or flying in the western sky. This gives you an idea of how bright and close this was as I was only a mile at the most from the hospital.

When I looked again, I noticed that it was glowing orange and yellow kind of like a large fire ball, I was actually amazed when I saw this as an option, as this is how I've been describing it.

I looked again and noticed that there were now 3 in a triangle formation, seemingly hovering. I grabbed my phone and my friend did the same, as we looked up again, they're were now 8, 9,10 a growing number, reaching somewhere between 10 and 20 and no longer seemed to be in formation, but spreading out as they headed west and went out of sight.

I was wondering if this could have been a meteor shower? i don't know what else could explain this??
