A high altitude balloon near missed the Airbus A319 aircraft cruising altitude 10,000 meters and a shocking shot from 150 meters below

It is usually impossible to see a passenger aircraft cruising at an altitude of 800 km / h at an altitude of over 10,000 meters, but it is usually impossible, but for the meteorological observation that continues to rise with fluffy aiming for "the rim of the universe" The balloon has come close to approaching as close as possible to collision, and furthermore, the video that succeeded in shooting the state completely with GoPro has been released.

EXTREME Airbus A 319 flyby captured by GoPro on a High Altitude Weather Balloon - YouTube


This image is a high-altitude balloon launched "Overlook Horizon"Tory Carissimo took a picture taken by GoPro on a balloon for weather observation skipped. Overlook Horizon, based in New York, is advancing several balloon launch programs, this time a balloon named "OLHZN - 5 Continuity" is being launched from the square of Newark, New York State.


The movie has already started with the scene where the balloon is rising at an altitude of 33,300 feet (about 11,000 meters). The temperature displayed in the lower right is already below minus 40 degrees, the atmospheric pressure and the oxygen concentration are too low, making it an environment where a living human being can not survive as one minute.


A white line appeared somewhat in the field of view of the camera which turned swayingly and swayed by the wind in the sky.


What looked white was the Contrail (airborne cloud) extending from the engine of the aircraft. Delta Airlines flight 159 from Boston to the Detroit · Airbus A 319 aircraft rushes to the balloon at the cruising speed.


Delta 159 is cruising with an altitude of 38,000 feet (about 11,600 meters) at a speed of 402 knots (about 750 km / h). New York State Newark is located in one of the Great Lakes, close to Ontario Lake and is located just midway between Boston and Detroit so Delta 159 flight should be the moment that the cruising smoothly over the sky.


Balloons shaking with Yura Bura. If you think that the sound of the balloon is recorded in the movie and the sound like "jet" starts to be heard in the wind called "go" ......


Suddenly, Delta 159 flight Airbus A 319 aircraft flying at a tremendous speed on the screen is up and framed in. At this time, the altitude of the balloon is 37 thousand thirty-seventy-seventy-seventy-seven feet (about 14 thousand thousand meters), which shows that there is only an altitude difference of 150 m from the passenger plane and the balloon.


Delta 159 flight leaves the balloon in a blink of an eye without making a sound that you have never heard of "Gowo ...... Pyun". As it is only flying at a speed of 750 km / h, the noise emitted by passenger aircraft is very high when approaching due to extreme Doppler effect, and on the other hand it sounds very low when going away.


It is this happening that the aircraft and the balloon will cause a super near miss with an altitude difference of 150 meters, which in some cases seems to be a problem as a very serious incident, but in fact the balloon was approved by the aviation authority It is equipped with a device for reflecting the aerial radar, so it is said that it is operated with no problem at all.

Although the above movie was with BGM, in the following movies it is possible to see the image of "raw sound" as it is literally.

Also, although it is not this launch, the state of launching a balloon of the same type has become well understood by seeing the following movie.
