A middle schooler's science project was so alarming to a Manchester, N.H., man that he called police after the contraption landed on his driveway.

Eighth-grader Jack Miron of nearby Walton, N.H., had a grand idea for a science project. The Pine Hill Waldorf student rigged a box that included a video camera, weather recording equipment, flags and a beeping device onto a weather balloon, WMUR reports.

He and his mother launched it from Bedford, N.H., to see what it could record.

It recorded lots of cops and a DHS Bomb Response Team.

Oooo, I’m surprised that Mayor Bloombutt of NYC didn’t have USDA employees round up all the weather balloons then, and toss THEM into a gas chamber like he did all the Canada geese in NYC. Too bad he didn’t “model” for them first.

Looks like a UFO. The neighbor should’a called Sculder and Mully before the USAF.

After WW-2 a friend and i bought a weather baloon at the war surplus.

We filled it with hydrogen we made with zink and Hcl, made a long fuse with gun powder and string and glue.

We set it off just about dusk durring rush hour.

I blew up at about 5,000 ft.

It broke a few windows but motorists flooded the cops with calls.
