    Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    As a result of this video, there are a couple of people who have "how to" sorts of questions for Epic Balloon Tech Guy. I don't know who he is, but if he's on the boards, I'd like to ask him to PM me so I can forward these questions to him.

    Thx.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Littering is a crime right?
    So, we can't use a baloon or a kite to sprinkle a million little pieces of paper with the ex-sea org number all over a certain area can we?
    Because that would be illegal.
    The fine could be hundreds of dollars.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Oh yes, the scilons would love to arrest you for littering!

    I was thinking with the postcards... deliver them with signature required... a quick read for the insider! You don't mess w/ USPS!

    nevermind... was just told by USPS that an authorized person or persons could sign for these.... I'm sure they have that covered.

    I'd be happy to answer any questions about the balloon. What do you want to know?

    Littering would definitely be a no-no. The fine is something like $1000 per incident. If yer gonna do a flyer airdrop, you'd probably need a low flying airplane, or a hot air balloon, and a pilot with more balls than brains.

    What about those school experiment things? Where they tie a card to a balloon and let it go? The message is supposedly passed on to whoever finds the balloon. Go after them for littering!

    1. Obtain supply of condoms (ideally unused)
    2. Fill with helium / balloon gas
    3. Attach payload / message
    4. Launch
    5. Enjoy ;)

    Simple, effective and if you use them first then even more fun :)

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    see if could put a camera up on the ballon and steady it with another string or line(not sure how much balloon can hold) and see if we can get vids of rpfers working hard all day @ gold. that would piss the scifags off

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Yeah, that's the easy part. Now all you have to do is figure out how to do is launch them from somewhere where you can't be seen, have them fly to the prison camp, and land there. Anonymously. :)
  10. Anon-007 Member

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Okay. Here goes:

    1. Fill up loads of condoballoons and place inside large black refuse sacks
    2. Drive to launch site
    3. Check wind (as in weather wind) conditions and then launch when it's in the right direction
    4. When condoballoon fleet is over target, shoot with bb gun to release payload

    Simple really ;)

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    All you need to do for that, hypothetically, would be to take a good long lens cam up the hill and overlook everything. I am not sure if the Scilons own the hill or not though.
    They have a sniper's nest up there. Is it on public property??

    Generally speaking, I find that it's best to avoid brandishing firearms at protests.

    yes both sides of hwy are owned by co$ from talking to people that is not possible i dont live in area but that is wut i am told.
  14. Sam Urai Member

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    This isn't going to happen, at least not during one of our protests there, because they simply send everyone inside.

    No doubt they would do this if they saw a balloon in their airspace as well.

    Only one chink in your plan there: There's no RPF at Gold anymore. Becuse shrinking cult is shrinking, and perhaps other reasons unknown to me, the Int. Base RPF has been merged with the RPF at Big Blue, and they only stay in the basement making furniture and stuff. No photo ops there, unless they bring them out for construction work.

    Up at Int. Base you'll see regular Sea Org people doing manual labor from time to time, but they are not in the RPF.

    Ask some knowledgeable Int base exes. It's not like Scientology takes out an ad in the paper to announce these things.

    As far as I know, SP hall is still at Int. base though.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    The dude on the last KESQ expose talked about the furniture making. The RPF being merged and moved makes sense from a PR perspective. They cant have the RPF at gold with all this media crap going on now.

    How to completely mess with Gold Base scilon minds:

    1. Buy a battery-operated bubble-making machine.

    [IMG]

    2. Get a balloon (or series of balloons) big enough to lift this thing fully-loaded above the ground.

    3. Attach bubble-maker to balloon(s)

    4. Turn it on and float the whole thing over Gold.

    5. Have fun watching Gold Base scilons completely WTF-ing over bubbles being generated over their prison camp.

    "ZOMG!!! TERRORISTS ARE BLOWING BUBBLES ABOVE US!! CALL THE COPS!" :D :D

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Amusing, but tricky I would imagine!
  22. Sam Urai Member

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    This pretty much jibes with what I've heard. In Jeff Hawkins blog, he talks about when he was out Gold and assigned to the RPF, he was sent to another location.
  23. RightOn Member

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Does KESQ have a helicopter?

    Maybe Baca could fly over Gold and take some pics? It is always a ghost town, for Davis to claim there is that many workers there, you hardly ever see them.
    Bacca can show that they are nowhere to be seen, plus take some other shots

    and I am sure this has been discussed before. is there a hot ait balloon company in the vicinity willing to fly over Gold? What would the cost be? Can a message by put on it or at least the basket on both sides? AND whoever goes, can take pics of Gold from it?

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Being a former balloon person, I can tell you that two dozen 12 inch balloons will float a plastic hand basket, like the kind you'd find at a supermarket, about three feet off the ground. I would imagine you'd need at least nine dozen balloons to float the bubble maker filled with solution. They make giant balloons that are moar liek punch balloons which can float a small child, it'd be easier/cheaper to use one of those as you'd only need one.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!


    Perhaps you would like to launch a small child over Gold Base with instructions to toss leaflets when over the appropriate location.



    Best to pack them a sack lunch, though. Just in case strong winds blow them off course and it takes a while to track them down.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    That would be much better than a bubble machine.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    If someone could get th number of balloons right, to float an 18-21 yr old male, I would happily do it for the lulz, just buy my plane ticket.
  29. Spangly Member

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Mythbusters did the experiment.

    It took thousands of large-normal balloons to get an adult off the ground.

    Bubble machine would be much funnier.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    From the Mythbusters website:



    Could Larry Walters have flown a lawn chair by means of weather balloons, and descend safely by means of an airgun?

    confirmed

    Adam Savage went up in the MythBuster’s rig, which was a lawn chair with 16 plastic weather balloons attached, and went up to the maximum height that could be obtained with the safety ropes attached, 75 feet (22.5 m). He safely descended by shooting out some of the balloons. The actual event behind the myth was verified by documents provided by the FAA.

    I think they figured it out that it would take 5,000 regular sized ballons to lift 60lbs.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    If you can find the Mythbusters Escape from Alcatraz episode (its on Netflix Watch Instantly), they show how some prisoners made an inflatable boat out of rubber raincoats and contact cement. The boat they made held air and water (sort of). I'm sure someone could turn this raft tek into a balloon tek.
  32. Spangly Member

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    One time they also did a similar one with Keri and "normal balloons" (I think based on the myth of a small child being given too many to hold and floating away), which was the one I was more thinking of.

    Both were good shows, though.

    Re: Paging Epic Balloon Tech Guy!

    Dont know if youve seen them but you can get small blimps that in clear whether could be used quite well, i know some media organisations use them at events to get crowd shots and the like and actually come with a camera mount if you find the right ones

    PICOPILOT

    An auto pilot control cirsuit. If you have the energy, you can fly up to 299 km from launch and return. Perfect for making an automated reconnaissance probe that can fly to gold from far enough away that the scilons can't catch you launching it or retrieving it.
