Surprised there's not a thread on this. Solar-powered, ultra high altitude "pseudo-satellite" drone from British MOD wrecked somewhere in the Kimberley operating from Wyndham on 15th March. Flight link:

Welll it would seem it encountered inclement weather while trying to reach FL 600. Nothing weird about it.
