It reached 70000ft not long ago and is now falling. Max recorded height for weather balloons is around 100000ft. So it looks to be on its descent, either by parachute (as the result of a large burst), cooled air, or a small rupture which may allow it to glide slowly for a short time.

Get ready SF trackers.

No, David Silverman said the baloons will be landing between 2 to 3 hours after launching

Surely they're controlling it somehow, it just seems to be too perfect how it's curving around and not going near the sea..

Not necessarily.  It could be deflating from a slow leak...that would create significant wind drag.

Could also be under "parachute" power...

That's all?
So short?
All that fuss about essentially nothing?
They probably paid a whole lot more to send 10-20 Copies that short up?
