UFO identified as balloon in 1955

Summary

In June 1955, a witness in Santa Barbara, California, spotted an oval, silvery object stationary in the sky. The object made no sound and reflected sunlight. The observer saw it for 10 minutes and reported it immediately. Although it might initially seem like an unexplained phenomenon, authorities confirmed it was a balloon. This case is an example of how unidentified aerial objects often have conventional explanations once investigated.
