Recovery
Recovered by Jessica Harley · 2026-10-07 14:19 UTC · reported with sondehub.org/found
The balloon appeared shredded but the parachute is in great shape. The long string was not tangled in anything and was found on the side of the highway. The radiosonde appears to be in great shape as well with no damage.
