The Balloon Experiment



Here's a little experiment a decided to try. I made an Artvelope, placed it in a ziplock bag, and tied it to a bunch of balloons. I included a letter to the finder and a stamp so they could reply. I hope it doesn't get stuck in a tree! I made a little video also. To be continued...

I love the romanticism of these type of experiments. I remember as a child putting messages in bottles hoping for a reply and being disappointed by a lack of response.

Hopefully the balloons will land in some exotic location and generate a meaningful reply

This is such a cool experiment. I too hope you get a response. When I was 13 I built a 2 foot boat out of scrap wood, wrote my phone number all over with a message to call if found, and then I threw it in the McKenzie River in Oregon. Nobody ever called :( Maybe it made it to the ocean, maybe it got pinned on some rocks underwater? I'll never know. Here’s hoping somebody writes you back.
