HYDERABAD: It was like a scene straight out of a sci-fi film for the residents of Hyderabad on Wednesday morning, as a huge balloon carrying a payload was seen in the city’s skyline, briefly disappearing into the clouds and reappearing.

He told Express that the body of the instrument was made of some kind of light fibre material used in aviation. They did inform the Budhera police about it last night, but it landed in our jurisdiction which borders that police station’s limits,” said M Venkatesh, Circle Inspector of Marpally police station. As the fuel which propels the balloon gets exhausted during the flight, the object was brought down to the ground using a parachute guided by remote control. “They had published in the newspapers that they were going to release 10 balloons with that instrument on November 10. However, as the experiment wasn’t given too much publicity, people didn’t know what was actually happening,” clarified one of the scientists involved in the space capsule experiment. This was not the first time such experiments have been carried out by TIFR. Experts have been following its path throughout the way.

Many were gazing at the sky looking in awe at a bright white object in the shape of a balloon flying high in the sky.
