Summary

In February 1959, two military pilots reported a heart-shaped object at an amazing altitude. They saw it without apparent forward motion, white and without a trail. One observer described it as the size of a dime held at arm's length. The other compared it to a larger coin. Despite initial confusion, weather data supported the idea that it was a weather balloon. The observation lasted about 10 minutes and both pilots agreed on the details.

The official report classified it as likely a balloon. Although no photos were taken, wind and altitude data matched typical balloon conditions. The experienced pilots reported no threat or suspicious activity. The object showed no change in direction or speed, reinforcing the balloon theory. Despite this, the case remains interesting due to the detailed description and unusual altitude.
