balloon ?? It seemed to follow the highway at<br>
high speed and low altitude until it reached the intersection of
those two roads at <br>
around 1522hrs then nothing further. Almost like it landed on a
vehicle and fell<br>
off at the road junction. Verrrrry mysterious.<br></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>I think what you were looking at was the last hour or so of transmission *after* it had landed and was being driven home. Assuming you’re looking at <a href="http://aprs.fi">aprs.fi</a>, If you set the <b>Track tail length</b> (on the right side of the page) to, say, 6 hours, you’ll see a more revealing picture. The balloon left the ground in Deniloquin, headed ENE to a point north of where you say it at 1522, then headed back toward Deniloquin, to a height of 30+km, going east again as it descended. It landed very close to the road (very civilised of it) at about 1500.</div><div><br></div></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div>73 Richard VK2SKY</div>
