It was a weather balloon .... unhunh ...

Actually I have no problem at all believing people saw a research balloon and thought it was an alien space ship. The NASA explanation sounds entirely reasonable to me.
 
I have seen those before. They are a bit odd. And when the sun is setting, they stay illuminated for quite a while as they are over the curvature of the Earth. At night, they can look like a street light up there.


Just comes down to 'how to tell the difference between UFO's, government test aircraft, balloons, and swamp gas.

I agree as well. :gameon:
 
Oddly enough, I watched this "ufo" all afternoon while delilvering my route yesterday. Tracked very slowly to the west (<50mph). First saw it around 1230 and when I got home @ 1630 I pulled out the binox and saw the balloon quite clearly. Lost it for a little while in the clouds, but it was there for literally 4 or 5 hours. Not sure how high this one was, but it was REALLY big. Too cool.
