Gullibilty, fallibility, credulity and willingness to believe all make for weather balloons (and other easily explainable objects) becoming intergalactic spacecraft.

This one contained it all: God, ET, spookiness, kookiness. I didn't even know where to post it! LOL!

In the clip, I didn't hear the one word, "balloon," that might have made the "journalist" covering the event seem at least awake. Though at the end one of the studio anchors was beginning to say something about "... from the scientific point of view... " before the clip was cut off.

Terrible "news" coverage! This kind of fluff's why they call summer "the silly season" in the news biz.
