      ANY debris comeing from the NYU flights WOULD HAVE BEEN, AND HAD BEEN,identified as just that, BALLOON DEBRIS. Flight 4 was a "Service Flight" and NOT part of the main series of launches, there is even some evidence to suggest it MAY NOT have had ANY ML307 reflectors attached!, from the logs it seems the NYU team were having problems with the radar tracking and ommitted using radar on a number of the flights. But to go over THE main point, these balloons used standard materials, standard electrical components and standard metal foils, you DID NOT need any of the team there to be able to identify these elements, they even put label's on them telling the finder what it was and how to report it and claim the finders reward!!. I'm sure with the alledged way the RAAF staff "vacuumed" the desert they would have found at least one of these labels! Some are trying to make out these launches were using "super-hi-tech" devices and unknown materials that only the "team" would be able to spot, NOT SO, they were std meteo balloons, the foil was aluminium on paper, the sonobouy was US NAVY issue, the radio link used everyday resistors, caps and tubes plus a battery pack with standard batteries of the day all linked together with standard pieces of wire. Dropping these from a few thousand feet will make a mess of them but they will still be just the same stuff only a bit bent!. Now look at the photos...order a set if you must and scan them yourself. Don't trust our scans. Do your homework and get back to us on these claims.
