Thanks Chuck. Got checked in at Astro-Mecca (NASA HQ) and am now using NASA WiFi. Fun. Regarding your object, the first thing that came to mind was weather balloon. Can you rule that out? CalSky indicates a weather balloon being visible this morning during the 6:00 hour. They have it initially moving east and then south with the balloon bursting at just over 31 km altitude. patrick Sent from my iPad

I called Patrick, hoping he hadn't gone to bed yet and could try for it in his telescope, but he was standing on the rail platform in DC, on the way to get his award (Congrats again, PW!)
