A Customs and Border Protection surveillance balloon went down during strong winds yesterday in the Sierra Vista/Ft/ Huachuca area. The balloon is usually tethered during high winds, so it's unclear exactly what went awry yesterday. Ft. Huachuca observed gusty winds of 30 to 47 mph through most of the day yesterday. The balloon carries a sophisticated Doppler radar, so it was a costly loss.
