NUFORC Sighting 82158

Reported: 2011-07-04 20:05 Pacific
Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Smithton, PA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object

Unusual pulsating ball of light.

After watching fireworks for the evening, I was headed home along Interstate 70 Eastbound. Just before reaching the Smithton Truckstop, I saw what I first thought was a plane on fire, in the sky, left of the Interstate, headed West. The object in question did not seem to have any blinking or standard aircraft lights, but had a pulsating fire looking light, which did not turn completely off at any point. The object seemed to be traveling at a consistent speed, like a normal aircraft, but the light is what made it unusual. I was unable to safely pull over and observe it, as construction work is in progress along that section.
