Has anyone heard of this? I was outside with my dogs and heard an aircraft overhead. So, out of boredom while waiting for the dogs to do their business, I opened the Flightradar24 app on my phone. I saw an airline going to Dallas, but I also saw this. It looked like a tiny white dot in the sky above my house.

The app said it was moving 5 knots at 58000 feet.

Project Loon has been around for a few years. I've heard it covered in the tech press every now and then, usually when Project Loon is providing Internet service over third world countries or after natural disasters.

According to my app the flight originated near the NE corner of Nevada. It looks like it’s hovering above Riverwind Casino now. Speed is 9 knots.
