Balloon — aircraft (balloon), which is used for the flight gas, which is lighter than air.
Balloons - different sizes and shapes size toy, often made of latex. Is inflated with air or other gas. If the gas is lighter than air, the ball gains the ability to fly. The photo looks like a small dot. The colors and the opacity depends on the texture and color of the ball.
Glowing balloon is a regular balloon with led inside. Launched in the sky alone or with a group, or hooked, for example, branches could be mistaken for a UFO. The color of the glow depends on the color of ball and colors of the led. It can be of different shapes and sizes.
The balloon consists of a shell filled with gas and attached to her basket or trailer cab. Unlike airships, balloons have no engines for independent horizontal movement in the air.
Depending on filling, there are:
- the balloon (balloons filled with hot air)
- charlery (filled with light gas, typically hydrogen or helium)
- rosery (aircraft, use both gas and air, placed in separate shells)

Signal means Rescue Me Balloon is designed to identify the location of people in distress. A special balloon will rise to a height of 45 meters. At night it would flicker thanks to the luminous ring.
Now this fixture may not have got mass character, but something similar can be played at home.

Chrome turquoise large balloon (diameter 21 inches) made of latex. Because of the chrome plating and clear shape, it is often mistaken for a UFO in the form of a metal ball.
The ball is made of a thin mylar film. Forms an almost perfect sphere. Similar balls can be of different colors and sizes. Often they are covered with an almost perfect metallic luster. When flying in the sky, it is often mistaken for a spherical UFO.
In the company Festo, which produces balloons, there is a rather interesting sample among their usual products. It looks like ordinary balloons, but for some reason one of them is flying upside down!
This "inverted" balloon looks like an ordinary balloon with a basket upside down. But this is just such a design. Passengers comfortably settled in the second cabin under the balloon.
The false panic impression is reinforced by his normal twin brother, who is often launched together with an "inverted" balloon. For what? In addition to the banal contrast enhancement, another reason for the need for simultaneous flight of these "antipodes" is that due to the inverted teardrop shape of the balloon in the real basket of the "anti-balloon", the view is very poor. For insurance, they release an ordinary balloon as an escort
In addition, if it is possible to put four more passengers in the cockpit of an ordinary Festo balloon, in addition to the pilot, then only one pilot flies in the "anti-balloon". The height and width of both balloons are the same, but the inverted balloon has less balloon volume. Perhaps this difference is explained by the intricate design and the false basket fixed on top. The flying "twins" of the Festo company have already become a global celebrity in the circles of aeronautics.
Echo's Passive Communication Satellite Langley Research Center, Virginia, USA. (NASA.gov )
The Echo Project It consisted of two passive communications satellites (Echo-1 and Echo-2). In fact, these satellites were large mylar balloons (which is why they are also called "satellites") with a diameter of more than 30 meters, whose surface was metallized to act as reflectors of microwave radiation between the transmitting and receiving ground station. Despite its archaic nature, this system made it possible to establish the first microwave connection between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory or JPL (Pasadena, California) and Bell Laboratories (Holmdel, New Jersey) in 1960.
Echo-1 was launched into Earth orbit on August 12, 1960. Due to its mirror coating and large size, Echo-1 was the brightest artificial satellite in the night sky: its stellar magnitude reached −1m.
ISZ Echo-2 was launched into orbit on January 25, 1964.
