I came across another great video with 2 angles. It was recorded in 2014 with a GoPro 3 so the lens does have distortion. This balloon only went up 21 miles before popping. A couple of interesting things... it pops around the 2:27 mark. Going frame by frame you can kinda see some anomolies in the darkness when it pops, maybe the firmament? But 21 miles is pretty low so probably not. Next is the video has a time stamp of the actual time, so the balloon pops at 10:44, then free falls to earth for 33 minutes, it hits the ground at 11:17, then the people... I can only assume it was the owners of the balloon, showed up to get it 3 minutes later! If we are on a globe spinning at 1000mph after 33min it should be FAR FAR away from its launch point!
Cheers!

My first thought on the explosion was an effect on the ether somehow. Either that, or the gas of the balloon being visible. Helium is inert, so there wouldn't be a chemical reaction, but it might impact the air around it. The sun is above, or appears to be, so there is definitely more room to rise, but the ether would make it harder, like when the Go Fast rocket hit it.
I've thought from early on in this adventure that the ether is needed for the sun to move through.
More and more of these videos show up, and there are never any stars (except for one video). I find that really interesting.
