National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 5/19/2017 21:17 (Entered as : 5/19/17 21:17) Reported: 5/20/2017 9:26:30 AM 09:26 Posted: 6/2/2017 Location: Wilkes-Barre, PA Shape: Fireball Duration: 2 minutes Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object
On my way to McDonald's up near the mall, my wife and I saw an orange fireball going across the sky in a straight line. It was too fast to be a Chinese lantern and too slow to be a meteor. Quite a sight, it looked like a flame, morphing the way flames do in the wind. Based on the location I'm sure hundreds of other people saw it, just a matter of time before someone else reports this as well. Just wanted to document the sighting.
