I had another close encounter with a (party / decoration-type) balloon.

I've passed bunches of ~10 balloons several times over San Jose at
3500ft or so. From the size of the clusters, I'd blame the car
dealerships for them, since they seem to be the ones that use
balloons in their advertising the most.

It is a real "whoa, what was that?" moment when the balloons streak
past you at 120kts.
