Many South Floridan’s looked up at the sky in confusion as they saw an unidentifiable object, Tuesday.
The odd object was spotted from the Broward-Palm Beach line all the way south to Miami.
The object was a balloon prototype for the space tourism startup company known as World View.
The company was performing a test flight as they continue to develop a balloon carried capsule that will take people to the stratosphere, which is about 23 miles above the Earth’s surface.
The price for a seat on the capsule is $50,000.
The first flight is slated for 2023 and the first passenger flight is expected to take off in 2024.
