Any idea who launched this one?
Years ago I watched a silver weather(?) balloon released near the old control tower at Hilo airport. It was approximately 4-6 feet across(?). They were inside the fence so I assume state or federal officials. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it was awhile ago. Perhaps you can call an airport administrative office and ask if they know of an agency that might launch a balloon from there?
(Be careful looking into a telescope aimed near the sun before it sets. It would only take a moment to burn your retina)
