It wasn’t a space monster from outer space? Amazing.

But the balloon was filled with swamp gas and powered by ball lightning...

Bill Stepp of NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, says the flying object was a 4,000-pound NASA research balloon used to measure gamma ray emissions.Obviously, the bubblemen from space have captured Bill Stepp's children, forcing him to feed us these obvious untruths.

NASA officials say the flying orb spotted Monday was a giant research balloon, not an alien spacecraft. A giant research balloon, filled with swamp gas, and lit from behind by Venus.

I lived in Kaufman Tx way back... not far from this facility...I was flying at the time so I had access to the NOTAMs they would issue. They would launch around dawn when the winds were calm. When they launched the BIG ones (400ft dia) we’d trek on down there and watch ‘em .. Great sights ...

You’d think that, after all these years, the Government would be able to come up with something a bit more “entertaining” than “balloons”.
I mean, really, we spend trillions of dollars, and all these guys come up with is balloons?
Why not something exotic like an atmospheric anamoly as a result of the shuttle launch which resulted in a temporary refraction of gamma radiation - blue shifted and materialised - which gave then the appearance of a translucent spherical object.
Sounds like BS and it is - but at least its better than - UFO? = it is a Balloon!

See how easy it is to explain things when it IS NOT a UFO?
