A helium filled NORAD balloon used to track missiles along the east coast broke free from it's moorings in Maryland about 11:45 AM today, Wednesday, October 28th, 2015. Fighter jets were scrambled in NJ, and confirmed it's just blowing around in the wind. It was around Reading PA about 12:57, and over Port Clinton about 1:15. It broke loose from the Aberdeen Proving Ground.
It's tether is dragging, and taking out power lines as it goes. More than 24,000 homes and businesses near Bloomberg, PA are without power.
This is a big thing full of very expensive electronics. It's filled with helium, so it won't expode, at least.
Update: It's on the ground. It was lasso'd and stationary, and maybe down, about 3:20PM somewhere near Columbia-Montour Vo-Tech, outside of Bloomsbury.
A spokesman from the Proving Ground said it broke loose at 11:54 AM.
A military balloon is loose over PA, and knocking out power

Update again, it's off again. Lower than it was. About 100,000 power customers without power, it's started fires and wrecked cars. But it's low, and getting lower. It started about, or got up to about, 100,000 feet, and is down to 10,000. Military helicopters are chasing it, and will secure the site when it's finally down.

Electricity? Is this what the Uranus-dominant Arilunar is all about?
Using Washington as the astrological center, today has:
-- Mercury still in orb of conjunct Capsolar MC.
-- Only Sun angular in the CapQ.
-- Saturn and Venus exactly conjunct Cansolar angles (Asc and MC, respectively).
Not so much there. I'm intrigued by that Arilunar, though.

I was intrigued by the loose military balloon wreaking havoc in PA and the old military tank involved with two deaths in OR, but that may just be normal human pattern finding.
