OFFICER, HQ, NEW YORK ADS, MCGUIRE AFB, NJ. A CHECK OF AIR FORCE BASES IN THE AREA OF THE SIGHTING INDICATED THAT NO WEATHER BALOONS HAD BEEN RELEASED IN THE AREA AND TIME UNDER QUESTION. HOWEVER, SINCE THE WINDS WERE FROM 290 TO 310 DEGREES, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A BALOON FROM SOME OTHER BASE TO THE WEST OF THE SITE LOCATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE.
