UFO seen in Morgantown in 1967

Summary

In March 1967, a resident of Morgantown, West Virginia, reported seeing an unidentified flying object with a bright orange light. The testimony was collected by an observer from the RAA (possibly an aerial sightings organization), who mentioned that a student in the area had been releasing hot air balloons. Interestingly, one of these balloons fell in a residential area and was recovered by the local police. The report details that the object was seen for 10 to 15 seconds, and although initially considered a UFO possibility, it was concluded to be a hot air balloon.

The report includes detailed questions about the observation, such as duration, location, weather conditions, and whether the object showed changes in appearance or movement. Despite the witness being unable to accurately estimate the speed or distance of the object, the final analysis ruled out the possibility of an unidentified aerial phenomenon, attributing the sighting to a common hot air balloon.
