Hi Daniel, Your description sounds like a "Thai Balloon": a small hot-air balloon consisting of a bag with a burner that is a popular gimmick nowadays at garden parties etcetera. As soon as the weather gets better, these appear and result in a spade of "fireball" sightings over the past years. I have seen them several times during my observations and last year captured one on photograph: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.nl/2014/01/an-unknown-object-in-near-geostationary.html (image near end of post). - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun May 11 2014 - 16:03:49 UTC
