I saw it on the way back to Williams from Flagstaff. Even while driving
south toward I-40 on the main drag in Flagstaff (Milton Rd.). During
twilight it was very bright and easy to see through the windshield. It
was up about 25 degrees and -5 magnitude or so. I knew it was not Jupiter
right away. Those balloons obviously reflect a lot of sunlight. Made of
shiny mylar, I guess.
Lots of fun;
Steve Coe
