No of observers: 0

Location: Zanesville, OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Flash of orange lightning in a cloud and then a bright fast moving light appeared near the cloud.

First my mom and I noticed a flash of orange-ish colored lightning in this one cloud. As my mother drove further up the road a bright white light appeared in the sky around the same area as the cloud with the lightning was. It was moving fast and there were no blinking lights to indicate an airplane. I kept watching it when it just disappeared almost as if someone flipped of a light switch that powered the light. There were no clouds in the sky where it vanished; the moving light just went out. Not sure if it was a UFO or not but it was very interesting.
