Shape: Fireball | Duration: 4 - 5 min
Source:

I saw a round orange object flickering like fire, It stopped, then made a right turn and headed away and faded into a cloud.I was headed to the mailbox in front of my house in Shiloh, PA just NW of York when I saw a round orange object coming from S to N toward me. When it got closer it seamed to be flickering like fire. Then is slowed and came to a stop. I watched it for a minute or so then I called 911 and reported it. While I was talking the them it started moving in the same direction as before, then made a right turn and headed SSE away from me and faded into a cloud. All together I could see it for 4 - 5 minutes. I could not hear it, or tell for sure how far away or what size it was. All I know is it was either very big or it was close, because I could see it flickering.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD))
