   Hi.
   Of course, we all know the arguments about UFOs and weather balloons, 
don't we?
   Carl Sagan once suggested that if we really want to know whether 
high-altitude weather balloons can be mistaken for strange flying vehicles 
(e.g. the alleged Mogul balloon that allegedly caused the alleged Roswell 
incident), an experiment is in order.
   His suggestion: Assemble several hundred high-altitude weather balloons. 
Fit each with some sort of tracking device, and release them over the U.S. 
Keep a record of where each balloon goes, wait a few months, and then start 
studying
recent reports of UFO sightings in those areas. By comparing these reports of 
what you know are weather balloons to other UFO sightings, you can see if any 
of them might be weather balloons too.
   Just one problem, of course. Where's the funding going to come from? :)
