Use to live in KW during the early 1970's when I was a Navy Jet Mechanic on the RA5C-Vigilante. We moved from NAS Albany to NAS Key West in Jan 1974
I remember that tethered balloon right before we left in 1978.....Rumor was it had something to do with listening in to the neighbor 90 miles to the South-just reporting what I heard

Wife and I were in the Keys this past February and the balloon was there in the morning and when we left at 5 Pm it was pulled in
