LONG DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING REPORT

Long Description of Sighting Report
ORAGNE BALL As I was approaching the top of Hill Street in Jessup, just before the Stop sign at the Luppini Clock, as I looked up straight towards the Casey Highway as it merged with PA Route 247 and I noticed a decending Orange Ball heading toward the little league municipal ball park hidden om the residual storm clouds as it had poured earlier and was about to do so again. The low lying clouds were up against this part of Moosic Mountain as the Orange Ball glowed through the gray dense fog type atomosphere decending like a parachute almost floating! My first thought was an approaching plane going into the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre International Airport after clearing the Omni Guidance Tower atop Archbald's Salem Road [elev 2200']as the Orange Ball was too low [2000'] way under the normal approach elevation! As it approached me from the East I awaited it to change direction to the South West and it never did! It was then I realized this was something very different! The clock was 9:14 PM Luppini time (only in Jessup, PA). I traveled about 600' or so and pulled over as another car passed me as I was across an inspection station garage. I got out of the car as it was decending toward the ball parks high tension power lines that cut through the top area of the three field park. I could hear a electonic cracking noise like a mosqueto zapper uninterupted as it approach in the still quiet night! A sliver in the clouds opened up as I now had a clear shot! It was headed toward the tops of the high tension lines for sure! I was now looking straight up under it as if it were an ultra-lite aircraft. It was stepping downwardly by going forward and slightly upward in a jerking type motion about 50 feet and then dropping down at a steep slope very rappedly and then stopping.)Similar to a moutain climber decending a steep incline). It was very very cautious and I believe aware of my presence. I observed this for about 8 to 10 downward steps now having decended to about 800' and still coming down! I rushed back in the car to dig out a 35 mm camera in the box in the back set and tried to get a shot leaving the setting already set on the camer as I had no light to see by! I missed the low point as it was already stepping back upwardly and I got one shot and rewound and then it down poured unbelieveably! The clouds immediately closed up and I dove in the car all wet! It first appeared about 1/2 the size of a car and then at its low point about the size of a car about 500' up in the air! Multi colored as follows: 1) black nose, 2)then dark red behind that, 3) then orange behind that, 4) then bright white light behind that as it appeared to be a flattend ball mostly dark redish orange! It made no noise with exception to the carckeling zapping and moved very slowly in a floating like motion! I think that it was gathering the EMFs from the top of the high tension power line like maybe recharging itself! Others last forth of July fire works ingroups of 4 and 5 reported a similar event before and after the display! Over the past 40 years their have been many white blob sightings usually under 200'. I felt as it it was alive and acted like an animal being feed from your back porch steps as it was so-so cautious and timmed as it knew enough not to contact the electrical high power lines in the fog like low lying rain clouds, but! needed to charge up or possibly die! I only wish I had my binoculars as I could have really seened the detail at its lowest point [maybe 400']. I went down the hill to the Convient Mart to see if the Police Men were there for their coffee but no one was around! I then proceed to Frank's in Simpson for a late snack another place were some type of UFO seem to come and go up the Lackawanna River basin toward their head waters in Arart, PA their apparant area of interest when traveling through!
