They were saying today that a similar one was spotted over South America as
well. They had photos on the news, not nearly as pretty as the US photos

apparently China has admitted that it is theirs too.

I wondered about that. Since (I think!) the jet stream south of the
Equator moves East to West, I wonder how it got there and where it was
launched from?
