Downed weather balloon

Published by Shaun Roundy under Rescue Photos, Rescues

A glider crash was reported above Lindon on the face of Baldy. With closer inspection, the wide silver wing of the glider turned out to be an unmanned weather balloon used for arial photography.

To avoid additional calls and community concern, SAR sent a Singletrack Special Team member and other SAR members up the hill to retrieve the balloon. The event turned into an entertaining spot on the local news.
