HBAL259 is now at 50,000 feet and very close to the coast at Forster. It would be interesting to know if they are visible from the ground ?

The is the latest position of the balloons with Range Rings and our current ADS-B reception Polar Plot. At 60,000 feet they are well above normal weather, only
needing small changes in altitute to pickup different air currents and change direction. The 16Right ADS-B Analytics for today show the amazing difference in reception from the balloons transmitting all day, rather then aircraft transmitting only for the duration of their flight (purple line compared to green).
