$12000 ring in Ballloon could be anywhere?

[chrisplay2004]

Lately, it's been all over the news that he put the engagement ring in a balloon to give her and it flew up into the air and is gone. This thing could be anywhere in the world now. Was wondering how far a balloon with a ring could fly before touching down. Could it be in your own back yard?

Send a ballon with your Phone # on it. "please call if found", and see how far it goes!!!! Do it!!!

Back when I was in elementry school, we put our names and addresses on balloons, and sent them up asking whoever to find them to write us. (Don;t think that would ever happen today). I lived in northwestern ohio at the time. and my balloon ended up in the middle of pa. Some ended up in canada if i remember right. So I could see it going a pretty good distance. I imagine the ring would weigh it down a bit...check which way the wind was blowing..and go for it

I've always want to do the message in a bottle thing too.

That happened in London. The winds typically come from that area into Germany. I'm keeping my eyes open, LOL! HH, Mike

couple of summers ago i did a balloon every friday for a few months(those big mylor ones)tried a card with my name and email address,never got a response.stopped doing it after watching it get stuck in the neighbors tree.its still up there bright red & blue.he looks at it and shakes his head,he doesn't know it was mine :P :P.then i thought suppose it gets stuck in some power lines(heard mylor and electricity don't mix)maybe i should grow up.....................NAW

If I found it I think I'd have to give it back to the poor bugger, he must be shattered.

I would love to see a site that posted a poll questioning the opinion as to weather or not the balloon idea was a foolish and a show of lack of common sense, or was it a cool and romantic thought disregarding the risk.
