Would hail form that high up? I thought any water would have frozen / solidified well below that height, it's -55 celsius up there.

Those updrafts don't stop blowing based on what's going on with the hail. That said, I really doubt this was hail. The pilot is said to have seen something coming, which is probably why they are focused on a weather balloon payload now.
