Nice one

In which direction was it going?

I saw it passing over Mechelen in French class. That would mean between 12.30 and 13.20 h.

damn, above Linden of all places

Blackhawk, do you know if in the future balloons will take off again next to the church? I remember that a few years ago 2 or 3 hot air balloons annually took off; but all of a sudden they stopped doing that

don't count on it. the woman who flew the balloons moved some years ago and since a balloon almost hit the church .... :p It became too dangerous since the new parkinglot was created. Once she tried to lift of from her back yard .... very bad idea :p

It was coming from the east, turned above the field near our house and went to the west / north - west
