Orb over Denver tonight was a helium balloon
Hello Peter and center volunteers/researchers. I'm a UFO hound and I wanted to dispel any possible false identifications this evening.
I was at a birthday party in SE Denver (roughly Iliff Ave and Colorado Blvd)with probably 25 attendees. My children were playing with a bouquet of balloons and a large (probably 15" x 4") cylindrical helium filled balloon broke free and rapidly began to ascend. People see a lot of orbs and spheres and this is one that we can effectively rule as "identified.". I wanted to file a report out of respect for the purity and importance of the research that you do. I think it's very possible that you might receive some sightings because of the balloon's startling altitude which I'm guessing was at least 1,500 feet. The balloon traveled in a pure westerly direction at 5-10mph.
