Hello everyone! We’re starting off September with a MYSTERY! A mystery that one of you will hopefully solve!
When we were up in Alaska, we found a MYSTERIOUS piece of trash along the shoreline of the beach.
It didn’t look like the regular trash that washes up (empty bottles, pieces of net, jellyfish, etc) – there was a styrofoam box (on the left) attached to a stretchy rubbery material (on the right).
The styrofoam box had some MYSTERIOUS wires coming out of it:
And taped to the back of the styrofoam box was a MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE!
What in the world could it BE, we wondered?
Balloon Borne Hot Wire Anemometer for Strastopheric Turbulence Soundings.
According to the pdf I just read.
You found the lost CNN Lightyears weather balloon!
