HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – Redstone Arsenal confirmed the source of Tuesday’s mystery radar blob to be a test conducted by military officials.

In a press release, Restone Arsenal stated,“During these tests RR-188 (chaff) was dropped from aircraft. This chaff showed as an anomaly on local weather screens as weather conditions caused it to linger longer than normal.

This substance is commonly used by the military in training and testing operations.

There are no known environmental effects caused by RR-188.”
