This is footage shot from my cell phone of the gas well burnoff about 4 miles from Cherry Springs State Park--the 2nd IDA certified Dark Sky Park in the nation. Needless to say, this just obliterated the dark skies, acting like a bright, flickering light-dome of a small city to the SW part of the sky.

I'm afraid Cherry Springs is a goner as far as astronomy is concerned. This being only the first of many wells that are to drilled in the immediate vicinity. What sad statement.
