Don't get me wrong there isn't a doubt in my mind that you spend a load of time looking at wind direction, maybe you do it for a living... Tell me in your estimation what the wind speed would need to be to get one of these lanterns moving at 180kt to 200kt... Giz a shout if ya need any help workin it out I'm sure all the info will be on ya web site .. Things to consider object is made of paper and is unpowered apart from the flicker of course... I guess while ya lookin maybe ya could check the web site to find out when we last had winds of the speed reqired to achieve that speed outside the jet stream? As I said if ya need a hand give me a shout!
