Apparently the good folks at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility got the attention of people in New Mexico and Arizona yesterday.
News stories are floating around cyberspace about reports of an unidentified object drifting in the skies over those two states Monday.
One person in Sedona even went so far as to compare the translucent object to the "gigantic bubble from the Wizard of Oz."
Turns out it wasn't Glenda the Good Witch of the North.
The mysterious object was a 4,000-pound scientific balloon launched from a location in New Mexico on Sunday to measure gamma ray emissions.
Probably the best story appeared in the Arizona Republic, which is where the Wizard of Oz quote originated. Click here to link to that story.
