Did you see the China balloon?

If so, when and where?
I don't see any maps with a Google search showing the actual complete path.
I saw it Saturday about 11:30 AM and it appeared to be above the Camden, SC area.
If you saw it, was it overhead or North or South of your location and where were you? It may have been near Greenville or Spartanburg around 8:30 AM. It traveled from the mid-state to the coast in about 3 hours so that would be about 42mph.
They kept saying it was in North Carolina, but it had to be in SC for the last 200 miles or so.
Just curious. I didn't much care about the balloon until I saw it, then I was pi$$ed.

Yes, we live in south Charlotte and the news kept saying it was here mid-day. I went outside and surprisingly found it, but it was well below Charlotte...I would estimate based on the direction that it was somewhere about half way between Charlotte and Columbia, maybe around Chester or Camden.

Came over my house in Columbia. I live close to Fort Jackson. It was taking a peek there and headed to Shaw.

Are you meaning the one that was shot down over Myrtle? Or is there another one out there?

I live on west side of St. Louis. Friday afternoon I heard reports of the balloon sighted near Columbia, MO. I went outside and could see it to my WNW horizon. My attempts to capture it with a telescope failed. But to answer your question, I photo'd it at 3:43PM CST over my house headed south.

Wonder if it got close to the Gaffney Peach water tower off 85? Maybe they want a peach shaped water tower in Chiner.
