A point and a hobby may not always be concepts involved with one another. I knew a guy who collected sand from all over the world. Not all hobbys make as much logical sense as mine.
Article: Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
good point. i guess your kite can let go and sucked into plane engines and/or waste millions of dollars each year as militaries try to figure out what your ufo is too. Never thought of that.
Seems unlikely, but a while ago I posted a link to a video of what looked like a children's paddling pool blowing in the wind at least 100 feet up. Turbulent winds would produce a kind of 'random walk' motion, so it would be a matter of probability how high an object might get to.
if I had a 4chan account, I might now write a story of how I went ice fishing with the boys and a generator, as you do, how Bob got drunk and filled the tent with hydrogen generated via electrolysis, set it aloft and shot at it hoping it would explode, but it didn't and we never saw it again—you know, typical Alaskan redneck weekend.
Yet they saw strings attached.
The "strings" are common on tethered balloons/small blimps used in advertising. They serve as both a hold for the crew deploying it, and as attach points for the tether.

Heres the picture:
As you can see, the shape would change depending on the angle of view. And a reflective skin would mean that portions of it could be reflecting the color of the sky, confusing the viewer even more.Wouldn't have to say "CALM" on it. Shiftpod is the original and most common type of those tents. Instead of a logo, their silver skin identifies them:
From the photos above, these appear to be used in desert sunshine rather than ice fishing, and can find ads for a number of different models. Should we assume one intended for ice fishing to be more heavily insulated, therefore heavier in weight, than a different model for summer use?
The guy that developed the ShiftPod, Christian Weber, was a Burningman regular, so the desert thing was natural. They are supposed to work well in cold environments too but I don't know if anyone uses them for ice fishing. Could just be someone camping in the cold.

Ditto for any sort of tent with the flap open.
the alleged 'authority' said it did.
lots of things look "octogonish". even the graduation balloon could be described by someone as octogonish. i would describe this as octogonish too:
That's why they didn't take the first one down over Montana.
