Were aliens visiting Berea on Wednesday?

A UFO generated quite a buzz around the Madison County community on Wednesday. Lots of people were left wondering about the floating presence in the sky. Scott Powell, editor of the Berea Citizen, and his neighbors watched it for about 10 minutes as it seemed to tumble up into the air.

"It looked like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis had come up and was flying in the air, because it had that arch shape to it and it was kind of a metallic - it had a shine to it," Powell said.

Turns out Berea residents weren't having a close encounter of the third kind.

Powell later called LEX 18 to say that a teacher told him she released a 50 foot solar bag into the air to demonstrate how solar power works.
