White and silver UFO seen in Texas in 1957

Summary

In November 1957, a white and silver object was observed for one and a half hours over Tahoka, Texas. It was a single round object, the size of a basketball, moving eastward. Despite two T-33 aircraft attempting to intercept it, they could not reach its altitude. Observers, including officers and ground personnel, agreed it was not an aircraft or an astronomical phenomenon. The official conclusion was that it was a balloon, though not the same one launched at the time of the sighting in New Mexico. The final explanation suggested it could have been a weather balloon, capable of rising rapidly to high altitudes.
