True story to post, which may or may not relate to this thread...I want to post this before any additional balloon dates are discussed...
On May 9th, 2022, I was in my back yard, in NE broward county, near the beach. Specifically ~1/2 from the beach as facing North and saw a stationary white speck in the sky, off to the northeast, which I observed remaining on station for two hours. Maybe longer, but I went on about my daily business. I took three photos, which are time/date stamped. Two photos are from my phone only and one photo was taken through a binocular lens, to zoom in. It was a high altitude balloon. I live near a small civil airport between PBI and MIA and the departure path out of FLL is over my house when the winds are from the East. I KNOW the fight parts here and what I saw was completely out of the ordinary. Until I took the photo using binocular lens and then zoomed into the photo, I was unable to determine what it actually was. The balloon shape resembled an hour glass, with the bottom portion much smaller than the upper portion
The baloon was above the clouds and stationary. This was demonstrated by the fact that a cloud would occasionally obscure the balloon. The first thing to catch my attention was a stationary white object. The winds were from the east that day at surface level...AKA breach breeze, but the clouds were moving west. This is not uncommon and can happen as the warm land air rises and pulls the cool air over the ocean across the beach.. To this day,I assumed this had to have been tethered to a vessel offshore, due to the wind direction.
The height and size of the balloon was unknown. With our many fight paths for commercial and civil aviation, I thought it odd to have a tethered balloon so near the area of local flight operations.
Yes,I still have the photos and can share them, with date/time stamps, but will need assistance with posting them as I can’t do it from my phone.
Send PM with an email address and I’ll forwardrd them to anyone who would like to help.
So there...it’s on the record.
Yes, at first I thought it was a UFO and technically, while it clearly appears to be a balloon, it remains unexplained.
Finally, I don’t have any information on Hillary and am not suicidal. (Ya never know...better to say it than die suddenly)
