russian balloon coming close to those in the Hunter region NOW!!

heads up for those near Newcastle - there is the Russian around the world balloon coming over in a few hours. you can see where it will be coming through by projecting the flight path. Hey might get lucky and get the moon and the balloon in a shot - dream on eh?
