Two Eagles balloon crew sets record

Two pilots soaring over the Pacific Ocean have made history by surpassing an official world distance record for human flight in a gas balloon. The Two Eagles pilots, Troy Bradley of Albuquerque and Leonid Tiukhtyaev of Russia, flew more than 5,260 miles (8,465 kilometres) to put themselves in contention for the record.It still needs to be ratified by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, a process than can take weeks. The rules of international aviation require the current record of 5,209 miles (8,383 kilometres) to be exceeded by at least 1% to establish a record. Bradley and Tiukhtyaev set out to best both distance and duration records with their flight from Saga, Japan, which began shortly before 6.30am on Sunday (Jan.25), Japan time.

To understand the astrology behind this event we   look at the chart for the New Moon of Jan. 20 drawn for Saga, Japan. The New Moon was placed in the 5^th house linked to adventure sports [1]. It was conjunct the star Tarazed, gamma Aquilae of the Eagle! 

On the Ascendant are the stars iota and alpha Antlia – the air pump – and Markeb of Vela – the billowing sail of the celestial ship Argo. Together they combine to produce an image of an airship [2]!
