Source of glow in the sky revealed

An orange glow over Lackawanna County overnight had some residents concerned.

LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. — Many people were wondering what was going on in the sky overnight in Lackawanna County.

A glow in the clouds was visible for miles in the Scranton area.

The 911 center says a power plant in the mid-valley was burning off methane.

That happens every so often, but because there were such low clouds after the rain on Monday, the flickering reflection of the flames was visible from a distance.

A gas burn off caused this morning's orange glow over Dunmore and Throop.
