Weather balloons use to consist of some container attached to a balloon.
To-day at 5:55 pm I noticed something flashing up very high in the East. Too high for a airplane I thought, I grabbed my binoculars and saw a highly reflective cylinder tumbling and turning as it traveled app. 60 degrees up, from a Easterly direction toward North then West. I then noticed another similar one, both visible in the six degrees field of my binoc's. Fascinating to watch.
As seen from Castle Hill, Sydney.
