Report as low (200 ft). Efforts by mobile team to close on object failed. Chase turned over to civil authorities. Object described as a blue light size and brightness of auto headlight. At one time reported to appear to explode in mid air. Kept moving and reported to be as low as 20 ft off ground at one of the sites.
COMMENTS: Object apparently moving with wind. Definite track of object as observed not included with the report. Sighting indicates a possible balloon at low altitude with light attached. Insufficient data for a firm analysis. No report from the civil authorities who continued chase of object and no flight path of object included with the report.
