Fact Check: False
The viral video is not a UFO but a Solar Balloon.
A solar balloon is a fascinating device that gains buoyancy when the air inside it is heated by solar radiation.
Typically made from black or dark material, these balloons use the sun’s energy to warm the air within, causing it to expand. The heated air then becomes less dense than the cooler air outside, allowing the balloon to rise—similar to how a hot air balloon works. According to Wikipedia.
Some solar balloons are even large enough to carry humans. They are equipped with a vent at the top that can be opened to release hot air, facilitating controlled descent and deflation.
The recent sighting caused a stir among people on social media, but experts assure that such balloons are harmless and are an intriguing example of solar energy application.
