UFO identified as balloon in San Antonio 1958

Summary

A round, bright, and silvery object was observed for 25 to 28 minutes in San Antonio, Texas, in August 1958. Witnesses described it as the size of a basketball and completely stationary in the sky. Although initially intriguing, balloon schedules confirmed it matched one launched from the local airport at the time. The object's physical description and behavior fit perfectly with a weather balloon.

The investigation concluded there was no evidence of unusual phenomena or non-conventional aerial activity. Weather data and balloon launch records provided a clear and verifiable explanation. This case is an example of how UFO reports often resolve with available information and careful analysis.
