When I was a child of about 10 years old I was up in the Rocky Mountains camping with family. I was walking a dog with a younger cousin of mine when I noticed a white ball/orb moving horizontally, perfectly straight at a constant speed. After a few seconds it continued its path and disappeared behind a mountain top. At first I thought it was one of those white balls that are attached to power lines so planes to not fly into them, but then I realized how big it would have been in comparison to the trees on the mountain top. I would estimate that it was about 30 feet diameter. Does this sound like it could have been a weather balloon? Would a weather balloon fly perfectly horizontal and would they have one flying around a mountain top??
