Strange sphere that fell from sky in central Vietnam identified as air balloon
Relevant agencies and the provincial military command have concluded after an inspection that the mysterious sphere, measuring 15 meters in diameter, is a kind of air balloon, A Lang Cung, chairman of the Za Hung Commune People’s Council, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday.
The object, which hit the ground near a local house on January 10, is made of plastic and bamboo frames, according to the official.
The balloon is attached to a kilometer-long string, while its surface is adorned with multiple photos and texts in Chinese, Lao and Thai languages.
“It could have flown from a festival in western Laos, and there is nothing abnormal here,” Cung added.
The local military command also said the air balloon might have come from a festival in Laos.
However, they are still waiting for guidance from higher-level units on what to do with the object.
