Those balls and things attached to wires, whether on high lines or not, are only there to keep the wind from dancing the lines.  They have nothing to do with aircraft or anything else.  Count on it.    BTW, they do not weigh anything, they are aerodynamic.

The only place I see them around here is near an airport.
