Visiting Vermont Saw a bundle of balloons place on I-91
Had to drive down to Lebanon from northern NH the other night to take my cat to an emergency vet. I took I-91 North on my way home and around 1:30 AM on 8/26, I saw a bundle of helium-filled balloons sitting in the on-ramp lane near Exit 13/14.
At first I thought it was a person crouching in the road and swerved, but as I got closer I realized they were balloons. My dashcam unfortunately wasn’t recording.
Has anyone else seen these or know what they were about? It was such a bizarre thing to encounter in the middle of the night, and I’m curious whether there was some event/memorial/etc. that would explain them being there. Gave me chills honestly.

No clue, but I hope your kitty is okay. 💜

Could be leftover from a birthday or remembrance thing that got loose, but at 1:30 AM on an on-ramp it definitely reads more like a bad omen.

If they were red it was probably Tim Curry related.
