shit Q

[mastern21]

seems as though there are a few ORBS seen in the filming and are these ufos?

@curea229 It does not. It is spinning and once it views the sun, they take some pictures

[curea229]

@NEEDCARS But how is it kept steady and pointed at its target? I don't understand how balloon telescopes work.

[NEEDCARS]

@curea229 It cant view stars beacuse it is to bright. But it caqn view the sun very good

[curea229]

How is a balloon telescope stabilized to view stars?

Song for John

On a windy day let's go flying

There may be no trees to rest on

There may be no clouds to ride

But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us

That's enough for me, that's enough for me.
