Driving on hy 80 just east of Gradyville Ky when I witnessed a large light descending at a perfect 90 degree angle to the earths surface. The descent was fast and the light was bright and large. The object appeared to me to in a controlled descent. It moved slower than any meteorites I have seen and was larger and brighter than a meteorite. This area of Kentucky is quite hilly and wooded and this object disappeared behind the trees and hills. The only thing I have seen like it was video of a unknown light descending on the Temple on the mount and quickly ascending back into the sky. The object being reported did not ascend. A passenger traveling with me also saw the object and asked "did you see that". We both was the object thought it was some thing out of the ordinary.
