You can see the balloon being looked for, discovered, and tracked until it landed in a farmer's field, some 50 miles away from where it started earlier today. The boy was not inside the balloon, and i

Actually this would be SKY9 footage, KMGH uses a 3min delay, because both stations can't use the microwave frequencies from the chopper, all video is fed to KUSA who then feeds it over broadband to KMGH on a delay... KMGH Put "AIR TRACKER 7" into storage last March.

Ah, thanks for adding that. Nice to have someone who knows what they're talking about on here. I'll put that in the description.

Why is it that when a video is taken of a hoax it is very clear. Other videos are blurry hmmm.

[R2Bl3nd]

The video source was Airtracker 7, a very high-quality helicopter-based device for tracking objects moving through the air. This was completely real. Other videos are usually blurry due to poor filming conditions that aren't ideal for the type of event that's currently happening. If the balloon was going a lot faster, the video would be of poorer quality. But the fact still remains that although the story behind the balloon was a hoax, the video is from a completely real source.

What idiot would name their kid Falcon?

[R2Bl3nd]

Falcon is a cool name. My name is Random. Random is a cool name. If you think that that name is dumb, you must be jealous, and have a more generic name. Personally, I welcome having a name that nobody else has, as my name truly is ME.

@R2Bl3nd Actually, 9 and 7 share a helicopter.

Theory that air baloon plane skin can become nano-tech so the materials become stronger and so on?

[SnappyDanna]

whaat the heck you don't even c it

[sheo]

haha I see...now I feel kinda dumb.Well thanks for the clear up :D

Object = body. I didn't mean that it had to be a human body. Newton called an object a body. "A body in motion tends to say in motion......" We're saying the same thing just using different words. But I didn't mean body as in human body or the little kids body. :)

[sheo]

actually it is the energy of an OBJECT in motion... not just a body, but a body does have kenetic energy.

[mellamofish]
