Observer
Name Sam
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was looking southwest. It came from the northwest and was headed southeast. My observation only lasted about 2 to 5 seconds. I have never seen anything like this in my 61 years. I could not tell the distance or how far away from myself it was. I will say it was very large maybe even huge. It was round on the front and the back went to a taper but not to a point. Just for point of reference. I would say headed in the direction of State College or Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Thank You Sam
