Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have observed the Bs meson in e+e- annihilation at the {upsilon}(5S) resonance. We have fully reconstructed 14 candidates consistent with Bs decays into final states with a J/{psi} or a D{sub s}{sup (*)-}. The probability that this is a background fluctuation is less than 8 x 10-10. We have established that Bs production proceeds predominantly through the creation of B{sub s}*B-bar{sub s}* pairs with {sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} B{sub s}*B-bar{sub s}*) =0[ .11{sub -0.03}{sup +0.04}(stat) {+-} 0.02(syst)] nb. The following limits are set: {sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} B{sub s}B-bar{sub s})/{sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} B{sub s}*B-bar{sub s}*) < 0.16 and [{sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} B{sub s}B-bar{sub s}*) + {sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} B{sub s}*B-bar{sub s})]/{sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} B{sub s}*B-bar{sub s}*) < 0.16 (90% CL). In a separate analysis, by comparing production rates of D{sub s}{sup +} mesons in {upsilon}(5S) and {upsilon}(4S) decays, an estimate of the ratio of B{sub s}{sup (*)} B-bar{sub s}{sup (*)} to the total bb-bar quark pair production at the {upsilon}(5S) energy of (16 {+-} 3 {+-} 6)% is obtained.
