Incident #222 -- Furstenfeldbruck, Germany -- 23 November 1943

The tactics described by this object, if correct, and the implied time in sight (long enough to call others to see it) argue strongly against an astronomical interpretation for the incident.

The object might have been a balloon with a light on it.

No. 222: Winds aloft charts not available on this one. Object sighted 2 1/2 hours after scheduled release time at which time it was plotted by a radar DF station to be at 27,000. A short time later the same station reported the object circling at 40,000; speed estimated at between 200-500 M.P.H. Most likely not a balloon.
