Just spotted the balloon in North Phoenix - very briefly.  I was lucky
to see it at all given the clouds.  Seems much lower than those I've
seen in the past.

I should have added that it is about 25 degrees off the horizon at about

12:35pm MST. It appears to be slowly moving to the west over the past
couple 
of hours.
