UFO sighted over Cyprus in 1965

Summary

An object was seen simultaneously from three locations in Cyprus in 1965. It was described as round from below and cone-shaped from the side. Observed through a theodolite, it was estimated at 159,000 feet altitude and 45 knots speed. Despite its unusual appearance, analysts concluded it was a balloon. No photos or physical evidence were taken, but three independent observations gave credibility to the data.
