Two Zanesville pilots gave chase last night to a "flying saucer," but it turned out to be an observation balloon.
Gene Griffen and Rolland Jones spotted the object floating over Riverside airport about dusk and took off immediately in pursuit. They climbed to 5,600 feet before they lost sight of the object which they identified as a balloon possibly used by the government's weather bureau.
