Observer
Name paul m
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Was in line for the Wildcats Revenge roller coaster at Hershey Park when I saw what at first thought was a firework. It was green with an orange tail. After a second or two, realized what it was, then pointed at it and yelled. At least 5 other people in line also witnessed it. It was oddly slow moving, and seemed to almost fade out before restarting. Hard to say how long it lasted but at least 5 seconds seems reasonable
