Maybe a kind of "heads up" . Was on my balcony waiting for Iridium 67 & 68 to fly by when , something bright rose up quickly from the ground and appeared to come from just a couple blocks away . However , I could see soon enough that although it was very well lit it also appeared to be turning and wavering slightly as it rose . I could make out a kind of shape , maybe star shaped or rectangular but whatever shape it was it looked to me to be a balloon , transparent , perhaps filled with a lighter than air gas , and maybe some kind of very white light . The thing is , that once it got up to a high altitude , all you could make out was that it was a bright light that appeared to be moving slowly across the sky . I lost it in the trees and couldn't hazard a guess as to how long it continued to ascend or how dim it finally got . Sorry for that . The last I did see of it however could have easily been mistaken for a UNID . cheers gc -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
