HI
some may think this weird
but i made a little video of a project i've been working on
a remote control balloon..
sorta long as the wind is not too bad
the LEDs used were cheap chinese $.20 cent LEDs
total cargo load was just over 2 grams
including battery pack and all electronics
flight time over 5 minutes and then i lost it
as it went over the treetops..

Hi sorry about the lenght of the video
but it was difficult to keep the balloon not tangling a tree the lighting it up part was easy, btw i must say
these Chinese lights i wasusing a total of 6volts (2 cr1620 cells 3v a pop)
were so bright, they actually if you see on the video illumitated half the side of my 2 story house extremely well and the top part of the garage as well got a 'photon burst' the old lady next door thought it was some sort of Alien probe and i was afraid she was going to shoot it down then heh..

It works. They're just so large that it takes patience, and broadband.

Worked for me instantly; I have broadband. Be patient if you have anything slower...

hi i've also earlier sent a bunch mostly last year
one of my 'ufo's had 40 LED lights
of all colours on a 9 volt battery 2 Mickey Mouse ballooons
and a Garfield.. funky but at night who could tell anyway they were shaped circular had a 1/2 pound lift unfortunatly first place they went was my old neihboor's tree, lit the WHOLE place up front driveway sunken down into the house and yard too.. i mean lit it up big time, she called the sherrif. funny thing took off before they got there and drifted lazily down to South Austin somewhere i could still see it twinkling away in multicolour glory like one light for about an hour figured it caught the jestream and was bout 6o miles away then!
ps i got a couple more videos somewhere else, i'm working on a wired balloon series.. a 150 foot system of 8 balloons circled by 1 pound of wires (very stiff but lightweight microfiber .. with about 100 LEDs , but it's kinna top secret i mean ) !

Weird thing about that
:
i send a few emails about this video to some UFO sites
one of them was from a show sightings or something like that
said they wanted to feature it.. well i better tell 'em
said it was pretty convincing evidence of 'some sort of inteligent craft'
oh well.. for a 6 inch balloon i hope
