History & local legend
Penn R. Weis was a Penn State student when he worked nights cleaning the State Twin Theatre on West College Avenue in State College. The job required him to climb three dark flights to the projection booth before he could turn on the lights. He recalled feeling watched on that climb.
One night, Weis decided to check the restrooms by cigarette lighter instead. While in the men's room, he looked up and saw what he described as a fluorescent green sphere emerge from the ceiling. It began moving toward him. He fled so quickly that, in his account, he did not stop to fasten his clothing.
Weis later submitted the experience in his own name to a Pennsylvania travel website.
