Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Skyhook balloons were balloons developed by Otto C. Winzen and General Mills, Inc., and used by the United States Navy Office of Naval Research in the late 1940s and in the 1950s for atmospheric research, especially for constantlevel meteorological observations at very high altitudes. Instruments like the Cherenkov detector were first used on skyhook balloons. Among significant flights, in 1948 Project Skyhook launched the first successful three balloon cluster. In 1949, the first shipboard Skyhook launch took place, followed by nearly 300 shipboard launchings over the next 10 years. The first manned plastic balloon flight under ONR contract took place in 1949. Project Rockoon, in 1952, featured a Skyhook balloon that released small Deacon rockets at about 70,000 feet above arctic waters. On September 7, 1956, the University of Minnesota launched a giant Mylar balloon (developed by the G. T. Schejeldahl Corporation of Northfield, MN) to set an unofficial balloon altitude record of 145,000 feet for unmanned balloons.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Yellow Balloon is a Billboard Magazine Pop 100 Top30s single by The Yellow Balloon, included on the groups 1967 selftitled album in the sunshine pop subgenre. In late 1966, when Dean Torrence of Jan Dean needed some songs for a new album, he enlisted the help of Gary Zekley, a very talented Los Angeles singer/songwriter/producer Torrence had worked with previously. One of the songs Zekley gave Torrence was called Yellow Balloon and Torrence went on to record it. Zekley was proud of the song, but didnt like Torrences recording, so Zekley shopped the song to different labels. Among those who Zekley visited was Ken Handler of Canterbury Records, who was very excited about the song and immediately set about having it recorded. Handler had Zekley do the lead vocals, and brought in noteworthy studio musicians to add the rest. The results were magnificent, full of circular keyboard lines and a slight tremolo effect on the guitar. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
