High Altitude Unmanned Balloon Passes Near DC, New Jersey

"A high-altitude unmanned balloon once operated by Loon, formerly an Alphabet subsidiary and now registered to Raven Aerostar as "N254TH," traveled just north of the Baltimore-

Washington, DC, airspace at 64,500 feet, moving east at 34 mph towards New Jersey.
Data from FlightAware indicates that N254TH launched from Dangel Airport in South Dakota on Monday and has since traversed the eastern half of the US, now making its way into Delaware and soon New Jersey. Loon, formerly an Alphabet subsidiary, was shuttered in 2021—the project aimed to provide high-speed internet to remote parts of the world. In addition to drones, residents of New Jersey will now have a giant balloon to speculate about." ZH
