Spherical UFO observed at Camp Carson in 1952

Summary

In December 1952, three observers at Camp Carson, Colorado, sighted an unidentified flying object with a spherical shape, approximately the size of a baseball. The object remained visible for two to three minutes, emitting an intermittent white light. Then, it changed to a teardrop shape and disappeared rapidly. Although initially considered a possible weather balloon, no match was found with known balloon tracks. The object's description and behavior suggest it was not a conventional phenomenon.

The report classifies the incident as "possibly a balloon," but other explanations are not ruled out. The observers, who were air force personnel, agreed on the object's description and location. The document, declassified decades later, maintains a cautious approach without reaching a definitive conclusion. This case is another example of the numerous sightings that generated interest and debate during the Cold War era.
