It's a NASA weather balloon according to the news this morning (launched from Fort Sumner, NM).

It isn't moving very much if at all.  I can see it much better now, when the sun was hitting it just before sunrise it was all lit up!

Yeah, we were up running for PT before 6 this morning, and the sun was hitting it, but not us yet, and it was just glowing up there...an interesting sight! Its still visible up here in prescott, and you can clearly see its a baloon now.

It really is a weather balloon. The aliens inside told me so. They came here for "assault weapons." Apparently, their planet just passed a new ban based on California's.

I went out to my 2nd story balcony to check.  I have an excellent wide view eastward north to south.  And I mean for miles and miles.  Friggen sun is too bright!!!  I'll check again later today when sun has passed over.

But for now, gun show at the Avi!

Today around 9:30am, I was comming out of the attic of the training house, my face shield was down, and thought it was a glare. I raised my shield, and saw it was still there. It was to the north west for me, and this was in Mesa along Main St.
