The idea was to rig a suspended candle to burn in the centre of the open bottom of the bag as the bag was held erect. The bag was allowed to fill with hot air, becoming a hot air balloon. Now lets get to the juicy stuff. Bob Botts was kind enough to lend me his UFO CD-ROM for several months. Thanks Bob for your infinite patience.
Modern technology is wonderful.
I now have access to movies, pictures, and sound of UFO sightings. This is from a 1954 home movie by Mr. John Sheets while on a camping trip at Lost Creek, California. The computer can be used to process the pictures in detail and bring out features that would normally not be seen. In this case as I followed the object I noticed that some lines came from the edges and the two dark objects at the bottom of the object. Then I realised that the dark objects were balloons held under a woman's large floppy brim hat.
