The reflective object seen floating in the sky Thursday evening was not a UFO or even a weather device, but a high-altitude science balloon.
The balloon was launched from Fort Sumner by NASA’s Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility and passed through the Gallup area as the sun set on Thursday.
Some uncertainty surrounded the origin of the balloon, and many residents suspected the device was part of a project conducted by the Kirtland Air Force Base or the Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque.
