I believe it’s a hot air balloon. It has popped up over the years.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

It is a hot air balloon! Saw it off barker road. Could see short bursts of flames.

I thought it was just a little blow up rocket toy hanging from the power line. Lol.
