Text: "Balloon mystery: NASA probes failure of instrument packages." Anomalous loss of four NASA high altitude research balloons. Problem appeared to be low temperature brittleness of the polyethylene plastic. Electric scalar activities in the tropopause boundary region may have resulted in energy deposition in the polyethylene of three of the balloons. Huntsville (AL) Times. Sept. 15, 1983.
