Ripley: Numerous sightings of an unidentified flying object were reported between New Hope and Ripley Monday night.

All described the thing similarly: A flame colored ball with red and green lights, hovering just above the tree tops.

It moved sideways, and usually was visible for about 15 minutes, the sighters said.
