UFO tonight!

Thanks TomK. I was impressed with myself. Here is an article about these types of balloons. https://www.wired.com/story/giant-survei...-of-space/ I was able to see very clearly that it was the same ribbed, transparent form as this with a dark payload at the bottom. As for size, I could watch the ripples of the fabric in the wind and could see that the balloon must have been large to billow the way it did. I was trying to use my slr camera to try and snap a pic of it through the telescope but the clouds and setting sun foiled my plans.
I’ll let others debate the business of satellite photography acquisition and usage.
