Today’s Weather Trivia:

June 8,1954: This notice appeared in the daily newspaper in Sault Ste. Marie, ON: "Strange objects will be floating about Sault skies for six weeks. The objects will be plastic (weather) balloons, 40 to 60 feet in size, to be used in biological research. The balloons may be mistaken for 'flying saucers.'...The balloons will test the effect of higher altitude on living tissue."  – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
