A UFO of a Different Sort

It is quite common for weather balloons to be mistaken for a UFO as they float listlessly across early morning and evening skies. As they reach great altitudes they expand in the thin atmosphere, and as sunlight reflects off of them, they appear as white orbs in the sky.

However, off the San Diego coastline in the Pacific Ocean, a weather balloon became another sort of UFO. That is, it became an Unidentified Floating Object.

The little white box with wires poking out of its sides attracted the attention of the US Coast Guard as they were performing routine patrols. They did not know what to make of the object, and called in a bomb squad and a remote controlled bomb disposal robot investigate.

Here is a link the news story from 10 News
