I love what shows up on slow news days.

Meanwhile, in California: a solar powered 30-ft weather balloon escaped from an AP environmental science high school class.

“It was like a snake going over the science building,” said Steve Doucette, science teacher. “I couldn’t believe what was happening.”

Neither could the Federal Aviation Administration, which alerted local airports to warn pilots of a large floating object, last seen at 2,000 feet. By sunset, there was still no confirmed sighting.

…wait.

By sunset, there was still no confirmed sighting.

BE SAFE, CALIFORNIANS.
