Landed 5 doors away from me in a field of my old primary school on Thursday 5th June 2008 around 7.15am. I heard the noise of the hot air being pumped into the balloon and grapped my camera and took a picture

That is so freaky! How big do reckon that balloon is? I like the way you have the balloon looming over the building- looks like a screen shot from some invasion movie!

I'm not sure if this one is a large one or a small one, but the small balloons are 140,000 cubic feet of volume while the larger balloons are up to 240,000 cubic feet of volume
