Initial data
A witness to the incident was Larry Riordan, the head of security zones of control X-10.
When he was driving in a residential area, I saw the object which, in his opinion, seemed like a balloon that had lost its "basket". It was generally round, but "we met at the bottom in wrinkles (rather indistinct and something down, hung). Looks like it was a length of 8 to 10 feet and is painted in the color of lead.
It seems that the object did not move, although the witness was not sure.
Might have been a balloon with gas balloon launched from a nearby agricultural research farm of the University of Tennessee.
Radar at the airport in Knoxville has detected radar targets near the area of the monitoring project. For clarification was sent to the fighter. The pilot searched the area for about one and a half hours, including the time of observation of Mr. Riordan, and found nothing.

Original news
Not listed in either BB Unknown list, but has aspects that may ultimately classify it as an unknown. Larry Riordan, the Superintendent of Security for the X-10 control zone became a witness. While driving to a residential area he saw an object which he thought at first was a balloon which had lost its “basket.” It was generally round, appeared to “come together at the bottom in wrinkles (rather indistinct and something was hanging below.” It appeared to be 8 to 10 feet long and lead or gunmetal colored. It didn’t seem to be moving but, since he was traveling and only saw it for a number of seconds, he couldn’t be sure. He was sure it wasn’t a weather balloon, although he thought it might have been a gas bag balloon launched by the nearby University of Tennessee Agricultural Research Farm. On the same day at 3:27 PM the radar unit at the Knoxville airport detected radar targets near the area of Mr. Riordan’s sighting and scrambled a fighter plane. The pilot searched the area for about an hour and a half, which included the time of Mr. Riordan’s sighting, and found nothing.
