[Chaos-l] UFO

[Phillip Suitt]

For all who saw and heard about the UFO, ( aka weather balloon ) on June 5 from atop the Morehead Planetarium, Terry Click from the National Weather Service Office in Raleigh was kind enough to provide this explanation and some material to read.

The weather balloons are quite large and have a data package suspended below the balloon. Here is a link to some information on the weather balloons:http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/vef/kids/wxballoon.php.
