UFO? Military operation? Questions surround balloon seen above Colorado mountains

Colorado is no stranger to strange objects floating or flying across the sky (remember “Balloon Boy” from October 2009?), and many residents wanted answers for a strange balloon seen floating through the state on Tuesday.

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado is no stranger to strange objects floating or flying across the sky (remember “Balloon Boy” from October 2009?), and many residents wanted answers for a strange balloon seen floating through the state on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service said it was a Stratollite balloon, owned by a private company in New Mexico that launches high-altitude balloons for research. The Moffat County Sheriff’s Office also reported that residents had spotted the balloon just south of Craig.
