Is stealth re-entry possible?

Let's say I happen to find myself outside of earth's atmosphere [right at the Kármán line 100km up] one night and don't wish to cause a fuss as I descend to my home. I am stationary in regards to the dirt beneath me. Could I inflate a transparent non-reflective balloon of sufficient size say 1 million $m^3$ with hydrogen and descend into the atmosphere without glowing or causing a sonic boom, landing in my backyard using my impeccable ballooning technique? Releasing gas as needed.
