DENVER (KDVR) Colorado has a history of unusual sightings in its skies, recalling the infamous “Balloon Boy” incident from October 2009. On Tuesday, residents were once again curious about a mysterious balloon drifting across the state.

The National Weather Service identified the object as a Stratollite balloon, operated by a New Mexico-based private company that deploys high-altitude balloons for research purposes. The Moffat County Sheriff’s Office confirmed sightings of the balloon just south of Craig.
