----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- It is slow. 0 kt. most of the time. It is a tethered radar (& who knows what else) platform that is reeled out to 15,000 ft. That's why the restricted area. There is a BIG flasher on the ground and on the balloon that flash synchronously. Now that'll catch your eye! Dick in NM

Wow... that is pretty cool. I can't believe that you can only get within
2.5
miles of it. Here in WA where we have the Bangor Naval Nuclear Submarine
Base, you can fly right over the top @ 500ft.. No restrictions nothing on
the chart but a name. What does this Aerostat balloon do? Surveillance?
Looks
kinda slow.
