What's that in the sky 2

Yesterday I managed to see the weather balloon floating above the canyon, but much farther away. The first shot was at 150mm to put it in context how hard it was to spot. Then I went to a cropped 600mm shot with it above the trees. It floated in the area for about an hour before the clouds swallowed it up.

They are made in quite a few parts, then assembled, he can only tell me that "they are HUGE". The part he works on is over 100 feet long.

Interesting. Those must be the upper atmosphere balloons, this didn't appear quite that large. However it was quite a distance from me.
