Arizona UFO is 'weather balloon'

I'm not a conspiracy theorist in any sense of the word. Not even close. But this "excuse" by NASA is laughable. I'm sure it's a weather balloon. But saying it's a weather balloon to gather gamma ray data is ridiculous. We have TONS of satellites in orbit right now, and even the ones orbiting other planets, that can detect and record gamma rays. It's ok if the balloons are being used for a classified project. I'm all for it. But good lord, think up a better excuse than that!

Sheesh, they always have to be lying huh. They have been measuring gamma rays like that for decades, here is a paper from 1968 describing the procedure. LINK. Why not a balloon? Not like it hasn't happened before.

yay, a weather balloon. That's quite nostalgic. I expect they're probably going to tell us next they were using dummies to measure radiation, or something.

Why dont the idiots ever say they are testing BEFORE the "ufo" is seen? Im not saying I believe they lied or didnt lie, Im just saying, if they are infact testing they should say so BEFORE launching the thing.

This happened in Tucson,Az back in 1993. It was just little white dot up in the sky that didn't move. But with some binoculars you could see it well. It was one of those giant weather balloons with the tentacles hanging down. Kinda scary at first glance but you didn't need a PHD to figure out what it was. Are there any pictures of this one or did I miss it somewhere?

a giant weather balloon with tentacles? That sounds suspicious to me.

Now where have I heard this story before?
