UFO?






I was sitting outside on the patio just before dark tonight reading Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning when I happened to look up and see this. The pictures don't reveal how huge this thing was in the evening sky. If I didn't live where I do, I might have thought I was seeing some extra-terrestrial action, but NASA has a balloon base about five miles from our house and sends these up from time to time. I'm told these weather balloons are a big as the Astrodome when they fully inflate, several miles up. They are an awesome sight.
I plan to write about Frankl's book this week, so keep watching.

This is a high Alt Balloon. It will go to the upper atmosphere where it cannot be seen.
