The object was lower than 20,000 feet, and was falling at three times the rate observed for the test parachute, which ejected thirty seconds after we first saw the object. As the object fell it drifted slightly north of due west against the prevailing wind. The speed, horizontal motion, could not be determined, but it appeared to be slower than the maximum velocity F-80 aircraft.
A few minutes later radar called again to say that the target had climbed to 50,000 feet, and was circling 40 miles south of Munich. Capt. is an experienced pilot now flying F-80's and is considered to be completely reliable. The sighting was verified by Capt. , also an F-80 pilot. The possibility that this was a balloon was checked but the answer from Air Weather Service was "not a balloon."
