Fly caster
I remember back in the very late 70's early 80's hearing about a way to get to see jet fighters in action, up close. For a kid, that would be pretty awesome! Image being able to get a fly-by at your time & choosing!!
The idea was, to get a kite, and line it with tin foil. then fly it as high as you could. The tin foil kite would reflect back to "base" as a UFO (or some other anomaly) and they would then scramble a couple of interceptors to investigate.
the idea was to fly the kit for a few minutes, to 'lure' the fighters to your local. Once over the spot, all they would see ear a couple of kids in a field, maybe with a kite..
When I heard it, I was about 10, and though this was a super cool idea! Although I never did try it..
And, being much older now, I seriously doubt it would work.. (But I still dunno how 'willing' i would be to try it!)
