The Holloman Balloon Branch, in addition to high altitude research activities, also conducted low altitude tethered balloon flights. It appears that descriptions of these balloons may have become part of the "Roswell Incident." Most standard shaped tethered balloons are readily identified when near the ground or when the tether is visible. Other experimental
