UFO sighted at Edwards AFB in 1957

Summary

An observer at Edwards AFB, California, spotted a yellowish, circular object about the size of a barracks window. The object appeared at rooftop level and ascended in an arc for five minutes. Although initially intriguing due to its fuzzy edges, two witnesses confirmed it produced no sound or trail. An officer in the control tower identified it as a balloon with a small light attached, leading to the conclusion that it was likely a hot-air balloon. The description matched typical garment-bag hot-air balloons.
