https://news.yahoo.com/99-red-balloons-us-air-205455732.htmlNumerous red balloons floating off the coast of Florida's panhandle this week may be an unwelcome and alarming sight for some residents amid recent reports of American fighter jets shooting down unfamiliar flying objects.
But, according to Eglin Air Force Base, it's just part of a planned weather experiment by the Naval Postgraduate School. The base said a little over a dozen red balloons will be set free in the winter sky.
"Each day, balloons will be released between 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to collect weather data for a Naval Postgraduate School research project to understand the physical interaction between the lower atmosphere and the upper ocean," the base said in a Feb. 10 press release.
The balloons started being released on Saturday from Topsail Hill Preserve State Park near Santa Rosa Beach and will continue through Feb. 20, according to the press release.
