weather=balloons ("pibal-balloons" carrying candle-lantern). However,
their reddish color and circular course were not at all like sucha

climbing to very hich altitude did not resemble (to the observers) any

known plane or dirigible.

of a formtion. The objects Doved along stedlly but wers not going ab an
exoesaive rate of aoeed called everyona'a attention to them as soon a I
notiond them, and watched then for approxinately two to three minutes.
