I was an Air Force guy who sent up the weather balloons

So, you are the one responsible for all those UFO sightings!

LOL.....yes we did make one of those too.

We put about thirty lighting units (matchbook sized wet battery and a flashlight bulb) into the interior of a big balloon, then inflated it with helium. We gave it enough lift to get about 400 feet altitude, then let it go.

Just for fun I painted a skull and crossbones on it too.

The first Death Star!
