On this day in 1985, a French runaway #MIR stratospheric balloon launched by #CNES in July from #Paardefontein, South Africa appeared for a few hours over Buenos Aires causing a commotion that still today is remembered. In late 90s decade, I started research on my own on this infamous #UFO case. The work I've done solving it would lead in 2005 to the creation of the only catalog of stratospheric balloon launches. It evolved into what is today the #StratoCat website.
