Some say satellites are weather balloons. Balloons are at the mercy of the wind. How can these weather balloons move faster than a high altitude airliner as I have observed a satellite doing? Why do they always move in such a perfectly straight line at a perfectly consistent speed? How did I observe 2 going opposite directions (nearly colliding even) if they are wind blown balloons?
Well, it's absolutely not even disputed that NASA has many satellites that are in fact on balloons. I'm not sure calling them "weather" balloons is the correct term, but there are videos out there docuмenting the NASA satellite balloon program, where they talk about how many are balloons becase they're much cheaper. They have balloons that can stay afloat for decades, and some are absolutely gigantic. In addition, they go up to altitudes where they would not be buffetted by wind (or affected by the atmosphere).
Really, the only dispute is whether they're ALL balloons. Fact that many are is not disputed, and admitted by NASA. There are videos out there showing them launching these things (which are absolutely gigantic). In addition, not a few have crashed, with the balloons still attached, in various parts of the world.
As for what what you observed moving "fast", those could be anything.
