That is how passenger hot air balloons work. But when party ballons are released they only go up and that is all. This thing did not go like that.
When I was a kid, and also a few other times, I have had the experience of watching a party balloon go to the sky. They just go in one direction: "Up-and-away". I mean, if the wind is blowing it goes away at an angle.
Pointing and laughing a "Prophet Yahweh" is easy. Debunking is hard. I hope someone here is not lazy. Maybe I am wrong to have such hopes.
Party ballons are not controled like passenger balloons, they do not change course and come back to where they were released.
It is also interesting that JREF backed out because of "lack of evidence". I might add that Prophet Yahweh has two talents. One talent is that he can make these balls appear in the sky. Another talent is that he can turn skeptics into chickens.
Balloons big and small are subject to winds... the same way cruise ships and canoes are subject to ocean currents.
Your perceived difference in the behavior of hot-air balloons and party balloons is fallacious.
Debunking is just a matter of figuring out the
Earthly source of the balloons. Maybe we should visit Prophet Yahweh during TAM7 but I suspect spending any time with him and his friends will be
extremely irritating and since controlling for balloon releases is difficult I doubt any observations of his "trick" will be worth much except for an interesting anecdote.
There is no evidence that Yahweh is even responsible for these "balls" appearing in the sky. There are meteorological balloons released twice a day in Las Vegas.
The most likely explanation is that he has an accomplice who releases a mylar balloon upwind and they point and shout and film the thing. To test his claim for the million dollars this kind of cheating would have to be controlled out of the experiment.
If Prophet Yahweh and god are tight like best buddies maybe he can ask god to send a signal that is close enough to see clearly.
What do you mean by this statement?: "Party ballons are not controled like passenger balloons, they do not change course and come back to where they were released."
If you are trying to say that "passenger balloons" change course and come back to where they were release this is incorrect. Hot-air balloons are pushed around by the wind and you have
very little control over where the balloon goes (except up and down.) You must have a two-way radio and have someone in a truck follow you around to pick up the balloon wherever you land. If you are very skilled and very lucky you can time your landing such that you land relatively near your starting point.
If you are saying that Yahweh has the power to make his balloons come back to him, that is a different issue. I haven't seen anything that would indicate this, though. I would be very interested to see if he could make the balloon approach the camera so we could see it clearly.
