Original news

Charles Tilden Smith reported the following case to the respected British science journal, Nature.  For over half and hour Smith observed two fan shaped or triangular ‘heavy shadows’ cast onto clouds overhead.  The clouds were moving rapidly, but the shadows remained stationary in the sky.  From time to time the unidentified apparitions varied in size.  Smith concluded that two large unseen objects in the west were intercepting the Sun’s rays.

Kite

Tethered flying machine heavier than air. Supported in the air by wind pressure on a surface set at an angle to the direction of movement of the wind and held by the guard rails from the ground. The first mention of kites are found in the II century BC in China (the so-called snake-dragon). At the moment there are many shapes and designs of kites.

There are also kites, equipped with LEDs. The forms that emerge LEDs can be different: echoing the shape of the kite to Supplement his picture or absolutely independent. Color, frequency and sequence of blinking LEDs is varied.
