You realise this is all taking place at Roswell, New Mexico. It's notorious.
Those little blobs may well have been UFOs.
The clock seems to have stopped. I'd have thought that the baloon would take quite a while to inflate. There doesn't seem to be much visible sign of inflation on the picture at the moment. The actual jump seems to be quite a way off.
'Once launched, Felix will float to 120,000 ft in less than 3 hours. The 30-million-cubic-foot helium balloon is 1/10 the thickness of a Ziploc bag, yet weighs more than 3,000 pounds. Stretched out it would cover about 40 acres.'
Evening, back from my flying visit to York, it was a lovely sunny day up there, but by the time I was home the sun had gone here.
Did anyone see the story about the couple who bought the cannabis plant at a car boot sale not realising what it was and it is now huge.Police say that they have never seen a cannabis plant so big.
Lovely photo on the web of the green northern lights over Kendal last night. apparently should be ale to see it tonight but probably not in Rossendale.

Enough time for me to watch ITT (6.30-7)
Well this is exciting
n what they did to that poor little guy Gary!
Don't believe what you see in films. Unfortuately, I'm unable to give the real details here, due to security reasons.
Was just about to turn over to BBCHD for ITT, then caught Sky News news flash - 'Coming Up Sky Jump'.
I'm sure it won't happen before 7.
I think we can stop watching a while guys.
