Balloon in the sky with diamonds ?

I know Goose but I did it inverted!

Sadly, it appears the defence budgets of many countries will be increasing to counter perceived threats.

And who said balloons were all hot air.

Yo @Brent H is flying the Canada flag upside down only a maritime signal?

Just curious

 

[Brent H]

@Chicken lights : it would be a sign of distress- like please help… but that would be many years ago.

I would suspect anyone flying the flag upside down has other things on the agenda.

With all the “modernization and such” I would be surprised if anyone knew what a flag was let alone the ones that rep letters of the alphabet- LOL.

Getting a little trigger happy or paranoid perhaps? Beginning to look like they are putting an AIM missile into every errant party balloon they can spot!

Well it would be comforting to the enemy if they travelled in anything faster and smaller than a blimp/balloon.

US military's first shot at unknown octagonal object over Lake Huron missed, officials say

The first attempt to take down an unknown object over Lake Huron, Michigan missed, officials said Monday.

That makes me think about those ads in the back of the comic books for weather balloons.

Ya and I still want pretty much all those things that were advertised.... x ray specs, spy camera, build your own submarine, and transform my scrawny kid body into a Charles Atlas look alike.

I don't want the sea monkeys tho....I had them and all they did was make murky, stinky water that my father dumped down the drain.

That is one of the long standing projects on my to do list! Sending such a balloon into the stratosphere where the sky turns black! I wanted to build a payload with a GoPro camera and some temperature and pressure sensors with data recording capabilities and a location transmitter for recovery purposes. Never got around to it. I suppose if I tried now it would get shot down!!!
