If it's as big as it seems. It's hard to really tell since there's nothing to give perspective. Even at that high of an altitude you'd be able to hear it. Could you hear any props on it? Or was it quiet? Winds a half mile high can be very different than what's on the ground.
It was at least a mile away from me, I would not hear small propellers, like drone’s.
I agree, it looks like a bunch of balloons, but, again, the manner of flying with constant speed and direction over a very uneven mountain terrain does not support that theory. Balloons would bobble up and down, there is no way there would be a laminar airflow of the Santa Monica mountains for several miles straight. Check my other today’s post in Nature, there is a movie showing the terrain it flew over.
I wish I was quicker on a shutter and taken a video. But it took me a while to figure out there was something strange about it, and then it was too far and against the sun. |
