PHOENIX – NASA officials say it wasn't an alien spacecraft people in
Arizona and New Mexico spotted floating far above them in the clear
blue sky, just a giant research balloon.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says he got calls
about the object all afternoon Monday.
Bill Stepp of NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in
Palestine, Texas, says the mysterious flying orb was a 4,000-pound
NASA research balloon used to measure gamma ray emissions.
Stepp says the balloon usually floats at 130,000 feet and can be seen
for about 170 miles on a clear day.
Jennifer McCoy, who runs a UFO-themed Store in Sedona with her
husband, says it "looked like the gigantic bubble from the Wizard of
Oz."
