UFO sighted in Ohio with radar and photos

Summary

In August 1952, a radar at Wright-Patterson Airfield detected an object near Bellefontaine, Ohio. Two F-86s were vectored toward it, but the radar couldn't determine its altitude. The pilots saw a bright object high above and took photos. Initially thought to be an aircraft, it was later identified as a weather balloon. Weather conditions and speeds matched the balloon, though it initially seemed too fast. The confusion stemmed from the radar's inability to pinpoint the exact altitude. Ultimately, the case was concluded as a research balloon, though the pilots couldn't get close enough to confirm visually.
