What an odyssey!

Surprising at the amount of sound deflected skyward, and that the birds don't remind us with a few stones carried and released occasionally. But then, they dooo release something else. Are they telling us something?

If you ever film a vehicle accident, by chance, check for local police reports by location, date and time. An insurance company, lawyer, or party, may pay for part of your footage.

I think the release point was the juction of Fulton Street and Scott Street.

Found it on Google Earth.

You should get a camera on it aimed sidewards too next time! Would love to see that!

[cromesurfer]

Don't try this at AREA 51. LOL!

[cromesurfer]

That's the coolest thing i've ever seen!,Don't try this at AREA 51 LOL!

I did something very similar to what you've been doing. After I filmed from the air, I discovered your group.

I used a tether instead of free floating. I read up on the rules and regulations, and there's a possibility that if the balloon lands in traffic or in the wrong places, this would mean trouble. So I had to use a tether.

[MBRHIndustries]

I thought the camera was going to smash into the storm pipe sticking out of the first roof it landed on! I love these, good job guys. Also, blue balloon without air?
