This phantom N209LB is registered to Google HQ's address. A Matt Mulhern is Loon Operations Manager, Google X.

There's also a Mathew D. Mulhern, formerly very senior USAF. Can't access linkedin, so I can't tell if they're the same guy. Maybe Google slapped that old Beechcraft's transponder on a high altitude balloon.

Thank you, anon. This is a completely sane explanation, and makes more sense than anything else.

Virtually none of us have been watching air traffic for years, particularly this kind of traffic in these places. Much of what seems suspicious and weird is just the normal everyday weirdness that no one notices.

There will be happenings in the skies, but Occam's razor still applies.
