When do we get to the point where the guy says, "Hey, has anybody seen little Billy? OMG, HE'S IN THE BALLOON!!!"
That's are really cool, Bill. I'm shocked he's actually found all his balloons, and that he only had to travel as far as 50 miles to find them. I'd think that once they got up that high, they'd be off racing across the continent.
Hmmm, I can see this as your next project, the Wildlife Cam could be triggered by Aliens! - very interesting article!.

These are pretty cool. Seems like every person that does they keeps out doing the previous one. Most others have done it for a lot less money. I keep wanting to try this as it's pretty simple to do.

Todd, I'm with you, he must only send these up on calm days! Otherwise he'd be hunting for the thing in Belgium!
Nick, we are aliens! ps I took the wildlife cam back, I like it enough to want a much better one!
Then I'll buy a balloon and take those vertical shots of shadows of a herd of migrating deer! Or maybe not!
