ABSTRACT:
A kit containing an inflatable balloon, a length of tethering cord attached to a balloon harness and a container of gas for inflating the balloon. The harness is formed of four shaped flat cards, each joined by a flat elastic band to a cross-piece bracket, with a cord extending from each card to the tethering cord. When the balloon is inflated, with the cross-piece bracket externally mounted about the top of the balloon, each elastic band extends to a card mounted about a lower quadrant of the balloon, with each card held in a plane substantially perpendicular to the two adjacent cards. The balloon and cards are externally covered with a coating that reflects both light and radar waves. The elasticity of the bands enables the balloon to uniformly expand as it rises, and the cards serve to extend the plane of visual and radar reflection.
