A stationary silvery or white sphere directly overhead. Size estimated at slightly smaller than a 42 feet AT-6 at the indicated altitude. Explanation: Balloon.
Second Lieutenants Henning and Loomis heard jet fighters and when looking for it saw a stationary silvery or white sphere directly overhead at about 15,000-20,000 feet, which looked like a weather balloon (but none had been launched), and after one minute it was joined by an identical object at 15,000+ feet which remained relatively stationary (about one minute) then both suddenly accelerated to high speed off to the NNE in trail formation disappearing in about 30 seconds, while the original object drifted north. Size estimated at slightly smaller than a 42 feet AT-6 at the indicated altitude. Balloon-like object observed. One ball was observed by two witnesses at an airfield for two to three minutes.
