      «isn't there some way to possibly send up some kind of very strong weather balloon or something like this and attach high density camera's to these balloons to study these lights ? other than launching a missle which only gives us such a limited time frame to study these effects and retrieve more information on this field ? I am not sure of the available materials that could be used to get up to the 5 miles up into this lower atmosphere where these lights seam to appear to generate from but if something like a high tech weather balloon could possibly even be attached to some kind of a high tech wire even to keep it stationary ? since these lights seam to be to low in our atmosphere to monitor or study with a satelite since this has to be too high to study these lights ? just an idea? »
