Two long-lost relatives have reconnected, all thanks to a balloon! This story is honestly difficult to believe!
Michelle Boisseau wrote a note and stuffed it into a plastic baggie that she attached to a helium balloon. She told Inside Edition reporters, “I wanted to see where it would go.” Like a message in a bottle, the note floated into the ether with the balloon. The winds carried it all the way from New Athens, Illinois, to the tiny town of Clinton, Kentucky. It traveled a total distance of 170 miles before landing on the side of a country road! The fact that it made it so far was miraculous enough, but the story doesn't end there...
