Thank you for the source. I read that article and it's referring to balloon satellites, not satellites that hang from balloons. Balloon satellites are launched into a low Earth orbit (LEO) and inflated. Their metal material is highly reflective, making optical observations from Earth easy on a clear night.
You can see satellites in space on a clear night from almost anywhere on Earth given that there's minimal light pollution. It's very cool! You can tell they're not airplanes because they don't flash, and that they're not shooting stars because they don't quickly burn out. You can search when and where (local time, azimuth, and elevation) the ISS is visible from your location on Earth. I recommend everyone check it out! :)
