Oh, darn. I was so sure it was a Chinese spy balloon and involved a massive coverup.

Thanks to everyone who wrote.

Hey, it could happen!
Also,

It's either a second balloon or the first balloon, which now looks different because of the way the light hits it.
Thanks.
Whoa -- there goes some train headed to Harrisburg.
You get no warning on those trains. They come through at 90 to 100 mph, and they're electric, so they don't make any sound.

Thermals are best. That's why hawk migration takes place at sunrise.
