Black balloon shaped object on thanksgiving day 1996 in Central PA
I was traveling to my hometown in NW PA. I lived in Bloomsburg at the time. I had moved there in the fall of 1996 to open a new Retail Electronics Store.
My grandmother at the time was in poor health and she wanted to see my new store. Not being up to travel 3 1/2 hours to see it, I decided to take some photos of it before I left that morning. I had a polaroid instant camera.
About 20-30 min into my travel on Interstate 80(west) I looked to my left and hovering in a deep field was this object. It was shaped like an upsidedown teardrop or Balloon. It was a very dark gray to almost black in color. I slowed down very quickly as it just hung there. It was probably 150-200 feet above the ground and seemed to be about 1&1/2 the normal size of a hot air balloon. That's what I thought I was looking at, except there was no basket at the base tip of this thing. It didnt appear to have any demension. It appeared almost flat?? I tried to take a few pictures(still driving) but as I had to wait for them to develop, there was nothing in them. I really never heard of this kind of UFO before, I wrote it off as a weather balloon or something. Now I read others have seen this same black shape. WHAT is it?
