L. L. Sevlha, manager of what was identified as the CAA weather station, apparently the federal weather bureau, said he was certain the object seen by Cliff Drinkwine and his wife on the previous Friday was a weather balloon.
Sevlha told The Argus-Observer for its Sept. 11 edition that his station released a weather balloon that was two feet by two and a half feet at about 8:50 a.m. on that Friday, and that it drifted in the direction of Payette, near where the Drinkwines spotted their flying object at about 9:30.
Sevlha said the balloon responds to air currents in much the way the Drinkwines reported that the object had moved.
Sevlha added that his organization is authorized to receive reports of flying saucer type objects and pass those reports along to the military.
