Line Up and Wait
I frequently take a look at ADSB returns of air traffic on Virtual Radar: https://customglobal.adsbexchange.com/VirtualRadar/desktop.html#
This morning I zoomed out and noticed a highly unusual track over Arizona. Investigating, I noticed that it had a very high altitude (60k+) and slow groundspeed - so it had to be a balloon. So it was. It is N105WV - the launch of a "Stratollite" You can get more info here: https://www.worldview.space/ .
Check it out!
