UFO identified as balloon in Oregon

Summary

In August 1955, an observer in Paisley, Oregon, spotted a round, silver object the size of a baseball. The object was very high in the northeast and remained visible for an extended period. Although it initially seemed unusual, authorities confirmed it was a weather balloon known as MDH 70 that was over the area at the time. The description of the object and the duration of the sighting matched typical balloon characteristics, leading to the conclusion that it was not an unexplained phenomenon. This case is an example of how weather data can help solve apparent mysteries.
