A MIR balloon often mistaked as a UFO, flying over Australia in 1985 Chronicle of a UFO that was not

(17/9/2005) On September 17th, 1985, Buenos Aires, capital city of the Argentine Republic experienced a unusual presence: in the early morning a bright metalic object appeared in the sky wich shocked and mesmerized thousands of people. Was it a UFO or a balloon?. The answer to that question remained in mistery until today.

Now, after 6 years of work and research StratoCat put on line one of the most complete works ever published on the subject. On it, all the details of the sighting are exposed as well as all the ambiguities, myths and false interpretations and with the help of a rational and objective perspective and a well documented evidence (including two previously unpublished images) finally arrived at the conclusion that it was a French stratospheric balloon and not a UFO which appeared that morning over the city. We believe that this investigation will contribute to the final elucidation of the case.

The text of the dossier is in Spanish. Nevertheless, at the beginning of each page there is a link that allows to obtain a basic translation of the text to the english language.
