My family was leaving Paramounts Kings Island. We were in the parking lot and someone walking behind us tapped my brother-in-law on the shoulder and said "what the heck is that" and pointed up in the clear night sky. At first is was a round figure resembling a fire ball many thousands of feet high. It was stationary for about 3-5 minutes. There were flames dropping from it. Finally it moved westward and the flames went out. Then it had a white smokey glow, and continued to move westward. About 10 minutest later it appeared to drop at a faster rate from the sky (lasting another 3-5 minutes) until it was out of site. There was no sound
