The #stratollite balloon launched by World View from Page (AZ) on Aug. 31 is still in the air.
After visiting Las Vegas and Alboquerque areas in past days, recent reports locate it in SW Colorado. The images below were taken near Telluride by Tony Litschewski (L) and Dean Rolley (R).
The mission experienced a #failure in flight that prevented the #balloon from being located in most plane tracking apps. That increases the #mystery around the last day's #sightings of the odd-shaped #vehicle.

The #Stratollite launched by World View a few days ago experienced a #failure in flight that prevented the #balloon from being located in most plane tracking apps. That increases the #mystery around the last day's #sightings of the odd-shaped #vehicle.
It's a return to the old days of #ballooning when location systems were rudimentary. When one balloon couldn't be found, whoever launched it looked for news about #UFO sightings in the area to get a general presumption of their location.

Impressive view of a ballast balloon in flight on a #Stratollite belonging to World View Space.
The stratollite (a.k.a. Variable Altitude Air Ballast Balloon System) consists of a conventional zero-pressure balloon attached in tandem with an air ballast pumpkin super-pressure balloon which operates at a positive internal pressure in comparison to the external atmosphere and provides a variable amount of effective ballast by pumping in or expelling out ambient air.

The Stratollite launched yesterday from Tucson, Arizona by World View Space is currently operating over restricted airspace of the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
The mission is part of the Aether Project carried out by Sierra Nevada Corp. for UK's MOD.
Aether’s goal is to develop an unmanned stratospheric ultra-persistent communication and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability.
