It may have been the Mass Effect 3 prelaunch balloon from Vegas - seriously.  
They've placed a number of copies of ME-3 onto weather balloons and launched 
them for suborbital flights.  The game boxes are equipped with GPS tracking 
info broadcast through the Bioware Mass Effect 3 Twitter account and a special 
website.  People are tracking them to try and grab these special copies before 
the game goes on sale March 6th.
