Duration:1.5 hours
Six round, silver balls in the upper atmosphere flew at formation, stayed in one spot.

Arriving at a party, we noted that many guests were looking skyward. We were observing tiny round, silver balls in the upper atmosphere that appeared to be stationary. Occasionally they came together to make a pattern, then "flew" apart but stayed in the same general area. One of the guests remarked that he sees them all the time as he lives near Selfridge Air National Guard Base. He stated that other planes are not allowed to fly in or out when the balls are hovering. I asked what they were and he replied that "no one knows". Another guest, an off duty policeman, said they were weather balloons. I wonder if air balloons in the upper atomosphere can remain stationary in the strong winds of that level. The balls stayed in the one spot in the sky for about 1.5 hours.
