Crow left this message on my photo post from yesterday and solved the mystery -Lesley - It's a weather balloon. Really. A HUGE weather balloon. Ft
Sumner sends those out. It caused a bit of havoc here at the VLA where
I work. They also had a report about it on the news.
That makes total sense. I just didn't know they had such huge weather balloons.

I can see how some people can easily mistake that as an UFO. Glad it didn't happen this time.
Here's the web address (cut and paste) to Ft. Sumner's Scientific balloon facility.

You can even check out the balloon with near real time video. You can also track where the balloon is by clicking Fort Sumner Operations. :)
Lesley, I posted this on the other place.. but this was NOT a UFO NOR A WEATHER BALLOON.
Check this news article out:
‘UFO’ was a NASA experiment
GALLUP — The reflective object seen floating in the sky Thursday evening was not a UFO or even a weather device, but a high-altitude science balloon.
The balloon was launched from Fort Sumner by NASA’s Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility and passed through the Gallup area as the sun set on Thursday.

That was some big weather balloon. I often see the normal little ones. Well spotted.
