The aliens have landed, its over, we are so screwed, oh no, panic, wail, gnash teeth, steal, maim, kill, repeat.
Your explanation sounds better than LGM’s.

Looks like a balloon.
My first thought from seeing the picture was a solar balloon. We should all build more!

God has a great sense of humor. It is just not as cheap as yours.
I would think this sort of ‘kite’ is a danger to flight lanes around metro areas ...
Ouch. Hopefully it is more tolerant than yours.
