Retribution and gold?

Posting a ResolveSky.com simulation of the same event. It also shows most of the Starlink flares occurring near 10 degrees above the horizon and at an azimuth of ~75 degrees. So they appeared straight ahead, relative to their ship's heading...

Released helium balloons are a menace I find them all over the landscape when I am out, I see them drift past when I am on remote moors, retrieve them from hedges and streams and bin them when I can.

"Apparently behind" indeed. Personally, I just don't see it. The video is highly compressed, and I don't think it's possible to determine whether the light is actually behind the tree or not. There are simply too many other indicators...

I'm seeing estimates that on the order of 21 million party balloons are sold and possibly released each day globally. Around 5 million each day in the U.S. The flight time depends on many factors, but flight time can range from an hour to...

Please forgive my source impropriety. I had multiple sources which do not agree, and took the lower counts and estimates as conservatively as I could. There are multiple discussions on the impact of helium shortages impacting volumes. IN...

If you look at the dates and comments on this thread, you'll see that it's been a while. I received many interesting and excellent critiques and suggestions from this community, which forced me to go back and review my data, my thought...

I'm not sure it's a reliable source (Market Reports World website). On clicking the link I'm getting The report you are looking has been temporarily removed for updating or had its title changed. Looking through the claim (quotes?) in post #5...

I was sure I had heard a surprising comment on this topic on a podcast once so I did a little digging. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/debunked-man-captures-video-of-strange-explosion-in-the-sky-weather-balloon.1038/post-22714 Not being one to...
