This document is a Project Record Card detailing a sighting that occurred on November 8, 1952, in Auburn, Alabama. The report indicates that civilians observed a round, silver object that remained motionless for a duration of 30 minutes. While some sources reported that the object possessed two lights, descriptions of the event varied. The official analysis concludes that the object was likely a balloon. This determination is based on the object's physical characteristics—specifically its round shape and silver color—and its behavior, which included remaining apparently motionless before suddenly disappearing. The report notes that the disappearance likely occurred because the balloon burst at altitude. The investigators further suggest that the sighting may have involved an unscheduled balloon release, noting that the event took place one hour and fifteen minutes after a scheduled release.
Sudden disappearance after 30 min. probably means the balloon burst at altitude.
