Balloon Flight Through Thunderstorm Ends In Awe
Rev John M Bacon recounts a balloon ascent from Newbury England that turned abruptly chaotic within twenty minutes.

The storm raged for hours nearby, with structures struck and soldiers killed, yet the balloon survived the ordeal as observers marveled at the perilous, dramatic voyage.
