[MOham] Fw: K6RPT-11 now in western Kansas, moving ENE 160 mph

[Ray Brown]

  Well, disregard. I didn't catch the time that this message was sent. As I write this, this particular balloon
is well beyond Missouri, in fact it's just north of Indianapolis, heading due east at 160 MPH at 107k feet,

  There was a 2nd long-distance balloon and it's already landed (I think just short of Indianapolis).

Those of you in northeast Kansas, northern Missouri, and southern Iowa may want to keep an eye on K6RPT-11.  It's now near Garden 
City, KS but it moving ENE at 160 mph.  This track should take near Topeka/Lawrence, St Joseph MO, and then into northern MO or far 
southern IA.


The package is a small white styrofoam box, so it'll be hard to spot on the ground.  See http://californianearspaceproject.com/ for 
pictures.


Burst is expected around noon today, but that's not a solid figure - it could go longer.
