I'm such a dork. After my close encounter of the first kind, I decided to contact the National Weather Service in Boston.
I emailed them asking about any rogue weather balloons in the greater Somerville area on Saturday night, and I got the following response:
"We do not track anything like that. Weather balloons are launched at Albany and Upton, NY, and Chatham...but at 7PM. Doubtful they'd be anywhere in the vicinity at the time you describe. If it came from a far-away office, I'd think it would be WAY up in the atmosphere. Just a thought. Don't know who to refer you to, either. Sorry."
Given the direction it was traveling, I think Albany is the most likely suspect.
On to the Albany office. I'll post more insight as I get it.
