Scientific paper

During a high-altitude balloon flight, sources of far-infrared radiation have been detected with apparent fluxes greater than or about equal to 3 pW/sq cm in the spectral band from 50 to 500 microns. While the sources are not uniquely identifiable with any well-known class of celestial objects, two associations should be noted. Many of the objects lie close to local stars; there is also a tendency to cluster around the ecliptic plane. Alternatively, a new class of celestial objects may have been observed.
