Large, bright orange fireball after sunset in sky My location: Route 94 heading north, Hamilton Twp,, Adams County, Pennsylvania 39.889562, 77.041664 While driving, I saw a bright orange sphere that looked like a setting sun but he sun set at 8:32pm. It was at 350 degrees azimuth and 30 degrees elevation. At arm's length, it was ľ” in diameter. While driving, I saw it for 10 seconds, before losing it behind a hill, then again for 3 seconds before losing it again. After cresting the next hill, it was gone. I could not tell if it was moving. The skies were mostly cloudy, so it may have gone behind a cloud, or been stationary and a cloud moved in front of it. I was not drinking or on medication, and am of sound mind.
