Maybe clown shoes or a squirrel?
You must have some monster squirrels out there on the left coast!

The safety code prohibits launching anything with a spine, so squirrels are out. However, if you can find a 10 pound politician you're fine.
How about a politician's head :lol::lol:

An 80's camcorder. A smart guided bowling ball.(smart payload like electronics....)

Only if the recovery system fails.An 808 #16 DVR and four ostrich eggs...
Yolks on you!
Now that everyone has piled on to yet another new member.....
Check out ESRA at https://www.soundingrocket.org/ - collegiate engineering/rocketry competition wherein they fly rockets with 10lb. electronic payloads to 25,000'. You think involvement in this very legitimate program (or something like it) might be an answer to the question of why someone would come here asking for help/suggestions?
just sayin'.
Of course, this COULD be someone trying to build and launch a missile or somesuch for nefarious purposes I suppose, but I don't know...

OK, I did check them out. Here's what the description of their competition says:Now that everyone has piled on to yet another new member.....

Note the distinct absence of the word "electronic." There is a secondary competition sponsored by a unit of the University of Utah to which the following pertains:We have two categories at the Competitions: Basic and Advanced. The Basic Category is to launch and recover a rocket with 10-lb payload closest to 10,000 feet above ground level (AGL). The Advanced Category may change from year to year but for the past few years it has been to launch and recover a rocket with 10-lb payload closest to 25,000 feet AGL.
The E word is still not present.Objective: Encourage participants in the IREC to create payloads that provide a useful learning opportunities
and accomplish a relevant function.
Rules: To be considered for judging, the payload must:
- Weigh at least 10 lbs;
- Be removable from the rocket;
- Not affect the flight of the rocket if removed and replaced with ballast of the same mass and form factor;
- Be totally recoverable (i.e. no pieces of payload littering the desert);
- Keep within a 3 nautical mile radius of the launch site during flight;
- Not contain any live animals;
- Not contain any hazardous materials;
