Observer
Name Stephanie K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My husband and I were sitting outback at my parents house in Mill Hall, PA. It was one of the coolest things we have seen . The ball was a blueish green color with an orange tail. It only lasted for about 30 seconds but it was so big you felt like you could reach out and touch it. Then It was gone.
