Hello! Welcome to the fifth episode of Things I Find Cool*
That you might find cool too!
Today we are going to be going over a comprehensive history of balloons, airships and dirigibles. We are going to cover everything from the invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 France to the Hindenburg disaster, the Cleveland balloon fest all the way to the modern spy balloons we have been hearing about in the news. And aliens... possibly?
